LONDON -- Michael Sheard, who played Admiral Ozzel in "The Empire Strikes Back" and Adolf Hitler five times, including in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," has died, his agent said. He was 65.

 

Sheard died on Wednesday at his home on the Isle of Wight off the southern coast of England, agent Liz Hobbs said. He had been suffering from cancer.

 

Sheard appeared in more than 40 feature films, working with actors including Lawrence Olivier, David Niven, Roger Moore and Sean Connery.

 

He is best known in Britain for his role as Maurice Bronson, the teacher who terrorized his pupils in the long-running teenage soap, "Grange Hill."

 

Sheard is survived by his wife, Ros, and three children. Funeral details were not immediately available.

He did portray a very accurate Hitler. I remember thinking the Hitler from Last Crusade was dead-on.

 

RIP

I wonder if death caught him by surprise, unlike how the rebels were caught.
