My client and friend, the actor David Killick, who has died aged 86, was a stalwart of British theatre and television for more than 60 years.
He had a long association with the Royal Shakespeare Company (1985-2003), where roles of increasing stature came his way, including Cominius in Coriolanus, Duke of York in Richard II, Stanley in Richard III, and Archbishop Scrope in Henry IV Parts 1 and 2. With the National Theatre, he enjoyed roles in The Captain of Köpenick (2013) and His Dark Materials (2004).
