The Olivier Award-winning actor starred in a number of Royal Shakespeare Company productions - including a career-defining performance as Richard III.
Theatre actor Sir Antony Sher has died of cancer at the age of 72 - with Prince Charles paying tribute to"a giant of the stage at the height of his genius".
The Royal Shakespeare Company announced Sir Antony's death and said the Olivier Award-winning actor and director had been diagnosed with terminal cancer earlier this year. His husband Gregory Doran, the RSC's artistic director, announced in September that he was taking a period of compassionate leave to care for Sir Antony."As the president of the Royal Shakespeare Company, I had the great joy and privilege of knowing him for many years, and admired him enormously for the consummate skill and passion he brought to every role," Charles said."My most treasured memory of him was as Falstaff in a brilliant production of Greg Doran's.
