It is noted that the actor died on the morning of May 5. This was reported by his agent, Lou Coulson.

Actor Alan Bleasdale said that Hill's death was a great loss, as well as a great surprise:

"I was desperate to work with him. Everything he did — his whole work procedure, the manner in which he worked and his performance — was everything you could want."

Bernard Hill is best known for his roles in Hollywood films — Captain Edward Smith of the Titanic in James Cameron's film about the ocean liner disaster (1997) and King Rohan, Theoden, in two films of Peter Jackson's trilogy "The Lord of the Rings" (2002) and "The Return of the King" (2003). He also played in the film Valkyrie, about a conspiracy against Adolf Hitler.
