RIP Tony Haygarth

[KKOB]

Tony Haygarth, who has died aged 72, was a salt-of-the-earth Liverpudlian actor who became a familiar face on television in series such as Emmerdale (in which he played Mick Naylor), The Bill and New Tricks, while sustaining a reputation as one of Britain’s most distinctive, and reliable, supporting actors on the main national stages.

I must admit I had to Google him, but once I saw some photos of him I realised what a very versatile actor he'd been.

Brilliant character actor. I remember him from years ago in Rosie!!! R.I.P.

Really sad to hear this.  I remember watching him many years ago in a sit com called 'Rosie' about a young police officer called PC Penrose, which was set in Yorkshire.  Paul Greenwood played Rosie and Tony Haygarth his sidekick.

Of course Tony Haygarth went on to do so much more in the way of fine acting roles, he really was a talented and versatile actor. 

Sadly, it seems he had been suffering from Alzheimer's disease for the last few years.

A great loss. R.I.P.

Sad news, he was a very good character actor, one of many talented people from Liverpool.
