William Redfield : Shame

Its a shame theres not more threads ere about this great actor.

Was great in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Had he lived longer I think he would have been up there with some of the most remembered actors.

It's very heartening to read this thread. Thank you both so much. Adam Redfield (son of William)

An amazing performance in my favourite film. He will always be remembered by many for that.

I've only seen him in "Death Wish" and "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" but he did exemplary work. He was a fine actor taken from all of us way too soon

I also remember him as either Rosenkrantz or Guildenstern in the Richard Burton HAMLET. Apparently, Redfield published a short book based on a diary that he kept during the production, recalling his experiences working with Burton, Gielgud, and others.

Wow, classy.
