The British actor’s role in the Netflix hit was his most recognized, but he was a working actor for many decades with numerous credits.
Greif appeared in Touchstone Pictures’ flick, “Casanova” back in 2005. He was on numerous TV shows, including “Tales of the Unexpected,” and he appeared in the ’70s science fiction series, “Blake’s 7.”
He was also a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company back in the ’60s.
His fellow actors took to social media in droves honoring him, one calling Greif “a consummate professional and an absolute gent.”
He’s survived by 2 sons.
Stephen Greif was 78.
RIP
