I regret never meeting Ian Charleson but have a feeling I knew him from his work. It's too bad he didn't live longer for more to be aware of his outstanding talents and the almost effortless ability to portray just about any emotion he wished on command whether on stage or behind the camera.

I'm glad this tribute has been created so he can be remembered by those who miss him.

Chariots of Fire was a very inspirational work in my life. Ian Charleson as the role of Eric Liddel was especially so. I just viewed the movie again on a video iPod while I was flying from Tucson to DC. What a wonderful movie. Even more so was Charleson's portrayal of Eric Liddel -- God fearing, disciplined, and when he ran you could see the light of God in him...

I am crushed by the fact that Ian Charleson passed away almost 16 years ago. I had no idea. I was hoping to find him.

Long live Ian.

Ian Charleson aimed at excellence and hit his mark time, and time again. This is a performer who live his life quietly, and remained grounded. He took his acting seriously, but not himself. He walked with humility despite his successes. Charleson was a rare individual, an absolute contrast for a world filled with narcissists and egomaniacs. I am deeply saddened that I was unaware of him, and his work, while he was alive. When he passed away in 1990 before his time, the entertainment world lost a performer who raised the bar high (HIGH)! Society lost an incredible human being who possessed character, and bravery.
