Michael Gough 1916 - 2011

[Batman]

Very sad to hear he passed away.
I will remember him fondly for performing the best and most heartwarming Alfred Pennyworth.

Rest in Peace, Michael Gough. Your screen legacy will live on eternally.

"Come what may, Merry Christmas, Mr.Wayne."
My favorite line of his.

I think heart is the key word, he had "heart in his performance as Alfred.

Great performance, great guy.

RIP

Batman and Batman Returns star Michael Keaton paid his respect to Michael Gough, the man who played loyal butler Alfred to his Bruce Wayne/Batman in two films.

"To Mick-my butler, my confidant, my friend, my Alfred," Keaton said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. "I love you. God bless."

The actor signed the note: "Michael (Mr. Wayne) Keaton."

Keaton referred to Gough as a "sweet and charming man."

Such sad news. R.I.P Alfred

[CorbyTheJoker]

very nice of Michael to say that. what a great fit he was for those movies.

Sad news. His last outing as Alfred was in an Onstar commercial but I wish he would've played the role in some of DC's animated movies.

No matter what direction the films took, he was consistently the glue that kept the franchise together.

[The Dark Knight]

Keaton referencing Batman and opening up his soul like that makes my day.

Sad.. Rest in peace, Alfred.

Keaton's words, even signing as "Mr. Wayne", are touching. Their chemistry on screen was so great..
