Actor Bernard Hill, best known for his roles in Titanic and Lord of the Rings, has died aged 79.

His agent Lou Coulson confirmed that he died early on Sunday morning, beside his fiancee Alison and his son Gabriel. The cause of his death was not revealed.

He was meant to be at Comic Con Liverpool on Saturday, but had to cancel at the last minute, the convention said in a post on X. Upon hearing the news of his death, the organizers announced on the platform that they were “heartbroken”, and wished his family “lot of strength”.

He portrayed Captain Edward Smith in the 1997 film “Titanic” directed by James Cameron and King Théoden in Peter Jackson’s “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy, which includes “The Two Towers” (2002) and “The Return of the King” (2003) with the latter winning 11 Oscars, tying the record for the most Academy Awards won by a single film.
