# Fact 1 Made his stage in 1947. 2 Was offered the role of Dr Finlay in the original BBC series but turned it down. He did appear in a 1963 episode playing the part of a miner. 3 In the 1950s, he proposed marriage to Maggie Smith, but insisted that she would have to convert to Roman Catholicism before the wedding. She declined both suggestions. 4 He lived with his mother in her later years and did not marry until after she had died. 5 He appeared in two Best Picture Academy Award winners: Gandhi (1982) and Braveheart (1995). Bernard Horsfall also appeared in both films. 6 He was considered for Dr. Hans Fallada, Dr. Bukovsky, Dr. Armstrong and Sir Percy Heseltine in Lifeforce (1985). The roles eventually went to Frank Finlay , Michael Gothard , Patrick Stewart and Aubrey Morris respectively. 7 Cast as Miller in Force 10 from Navarone (1978) but left the production because of a clash with the producer, and was replaced by Edward Fox . 8 Cast in in The Island of Dr. Moreau (1977) but was replaced by Nigel Davenport. 9 He died in a car accident in 1999 while a passenger in a car driven by his wife, Marilyn. Coincidentally, Bannen originally met his wife back in 1976 when she parked her old van in his reserved parking space and was unable to get it started. 10 Director John Schlesinger cast him as a replacement for Alan Bates in the part of well-off homosexual doctor Daniel Hirsh in his controversial film Sunday Bloody Sunday (1971), after Bates was deemed unavailable to shoot. According to screenwriter Penelope Gilliatt , Bannen never felt comfortable with the part; she speculated that he was flustered by the fact that he would have to kiss male actor Murray Head , who played his lover whom also carried on an affair with Glenda Jackson . The anxiety adversely affected his performance during the early filming. Schlesinger had to fire him and replace him with Peter Finch , who won an Oscar nomination for the role. Many observers believe that Finch lost the Oscar to Gene Hackman because of the gay kiss. Bannen said near the end of his life, after being hailed for his comeback in Waking Ned Devine (1998), that this was his one big regret, for throwing away the plum role seriously set back his career and it never recovered. 11 Friend of Richard Harris and Peter O'Toole . 12 Considered giving up acting to become a monk. 13 Turned down the lead roles in Van der Valk (1972) and Hawaii Five-O (1968). 14 He was awarded the 1981 London Critics Circle Awards (Drama Theatre Awards) for Best Supporting Actor of 1980 for his performance in "Translations".
