Very sad to learn of Paul Ritter's death at only 54. Such a recognisable and brilliant character actor. Played one of the best sitcom characters of recent years - Martin in Channel 4’s Friday Night Dinner.
RIP
“It is with great sadness we can confirm that Paul Ritter passed away last night,” said his agent. “He died peacefully at home with his wife Polly and sons Frank and Noah by his side. He was 54 and had been suffering from a brain tumour.
“Paul was an exceptionally talented actor playing an enormous variety of roles on stage and screen with extraordinary skill. He was fiercely intelligent, kind and very funny. We will miss him greatly.”
