Andrew Keir [SEP] date of death
Andrew Keir
Andrew Keir (born Andrew Buggy, 3 April 19265 October 1997) was a Scottish actor, who appeared in a number of films made by Hammer Film Productions in the 1960s. He was also active in television, and especially in the theatre, in a professional career that lasted from the 1940s to the 1990s. 
He starred as Professor Bernard Quatermass in Hammer's film version of "Quatermass and the Pit" (1967). He also appeared in the big screen version of the "Doctor Who"
of his death. Argyll was another role that became one of his favourites. His final professional engagement was resuming the role of Quatermass for the 1996 BBC radio serial "The Quatermass Memoirs". This final performance was praised by "The Independent": "This series has so far been hugely enjoyable - thanks in large part to Andrew Keir, who recreates the role of Quatermass in dramatic interludes; lesser actors would treat Kneale's downbeat script with a certain detachment, but Keir is prepared to charge even the most banal lines
