Actor Simon Fisher-Becker has died at 63 years old.
“Today, I lost not only a client, Simon Fisher-Becker, but a close personal friend of 15 years standing,” Kim Barry of Jaffrey Management told Fox News Digital. “I shall never forget the phone call I made to him when he was offered the part of ‘Dorium’ in Dr Who. He had been a fan of the show since he was a child.”
“Simon was also a writer, a raconteur and a great public speaker,” she added. “He helped me out enormously and was always kind, gracious and interested in everyone. My condolences go to his husband Tony, his brother, nieces and nephews and his legion of fans.”
