melancholy king of legend. \u00a0Not torn over love or betrayal, he was torn over the burden of being a man for all eras and simply wanting to be a man. \u00a0And Terry nailed the look perfectly. \u00a0Of course he had other film credits to his name, not the least of which was his impressive spot in <i>The Lion in Winter<\/i>. \u00a0More recently he captured the ill fated, love sick Mr. Boldwood in an excellent production of Thomas Hardy\u2019s <i>Far From the Madding Crowd <\/i>(no Marcus, not Far From the Maddening Crowd!). \u00a0Mostly an actor of the theater, Terry made his mark during the period I call the great Fantasy Renaissance that was ushered in by Lucas\u2019s <i>Star Wars<\/i>, and remained until sometime in the mid-1980s. \u00a0There will be other films about the boy and the sword in the stone, but for me and many my age, there will only be Terry\u2019s saddened leader wielding Excalibur. \u00a0RIP,<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><i>\u201cI was not
