A fine actor and a very colourful character ... He will be missed by many.

Well there you go, gone at only 81. Tch. If he'd lived a healthier lifestyle he might have lasted to getting 'old'. 
Can't say I was a fan of his movie roles, I found him kind of 'creepy,' but did appreciate his outlook and attitude to life. He was a larger than life character and we need all of those that we can get.

Creepy is good too. I've enjoyed watching him in most of his roles.
Does anyone remember the film Creator in which he played a scientist attempting to clone his dead wife?
There was a memorable exchange where he described what he was doing as looking down the microscope and seeing the eye of God looking back at him, and whoever blinked first would lose.
He played the slightly mad scientist to perfection, but the slightly mad was right up O'Toole's alley, wasn't it?
I was going to say that I'll miss him but in reality, I won't. The body of work of movie actors lives on long after they pass away.
Onya, Peter. You've left us with much to enjoy.

Yes, he was a great actor and Ray Price was among the best country singers.

I loved Peter O'Toole in My Favorite Year, I actually thought he was older than 81, he looked it.

Actually, the statement about Ray Price was false. Still alive but gravely ill. Just a matter of time now.

Yes he was great in Lawrence of Arabia, they don't makes films like that these days, the guys seem so whimpy.
