British actor Michael Gough has died at the age of 94.
The screen star appeared in more than 150 film and TV roles, including the first four Batman movies as Bruce Wayne's butler Alfred Pennyworth and as The Celestial Toymaker in Doctor Who in 1966. Born in Kuala Lumpur, Gough started his career in the 1947 movie Blanche Fury and gained a cult following for his parts in Hammer Films productions such as 1958's Dracula and 1962's Phantom Of The Opera.
He was cast by Tim Burton in the big screen relaunch of Batman in 1989 before Michael Caine took over the role in 2005's Batman Begins. Gough continued to work with Burton late into his career, featuring in Sleepy Hollow and taking on voice acting jobs in Corpse Bride and Alice In Wonderland.
He also appeared regularly on television during his career.
