Death is more universal than life; everyone dies, but not everyone lives.
Andrew Sachs was an such an incredible actor who starred in Coronation Street and Fawlty Towers and appeared in numerous other tv, film, radio, and stage productions. I will always remember him though, as the sweet bumbling Manuel. Fawlty Towers wouldn’t have been the same without him.

A lovely tribute to an actor whose work I grew up with. He was something of an institution in the UK, and not just for ‘Fawlty Towers’, despite his often touching and perfect portrayal of Manuel.
Best wishes, Pete.

I know he was quite prolific, but over here we namely knew him for Manuel. I believe he even won a BAFTA for that?
