‘The Full Monty’ Star Tom Wilkinson Dies At 75

Tom Wilkinson, the English actor known for his roles in The Full Monty, Shakespeare in Love and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, died in his home on December 30. He was 75.

Wilkinson’s family confirmed his death in a statement to the media.

“It is with great sadness that the family of Tom Wilkinson announce that he died suddenly at home on December 30th,” the statement read. “His wife and family were with him. The family asks for privacy at this time.”

Wilkinson began his acting career performing in plays like William Shakespeare’s Hamlet and Andrzej Wajda’s Smuga cienia. He then went on to act in roles for British television such as First Among Equals. Just over 20 years after his acting debut onstage, Wilkinson played a leading role in The Full Monty as Gerald Cooper.

Wilkinson has been awarded many accolades during his acting career, including a BAFTA Award, a Golden Globe and a Primetime Emmy Award. He was also nominated for an Oscar twice, once for his In the Bedroom performance and second for his role as attorney Arthur Evans in Michael Clayton.

He is survived by his wife, actress Diana Hardcastle, and their two daughters, Alice and Molly.
