Nicol Williamson, a tempestuous yet talented actor who is probably best known as Merlin in Excalibur (1981), has died of esophageal cancer. He was 75 years old. He actually died in December 2011, but the news was not made public until now.
Though not technically a Disney film, he starred in 1996's The Wind in the Willows (known as Mr. Toad's Wild Ride in America) as Badger. Of course, to fans of Disney cinema of the 1980's, he will probably be remembered most for his role as the villainous Nome King in the underrated 1985 film, Return to Oz.
