It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Michael Billington on June 3rd 2005 after a long battle with cancer. To respect his family's wishes, we have not released the news until Monday 12th June, the day of the funeral. Mike was an accomplished actor of stage and screen.

He never quite got that one "big break" but far from being resentful or bitter, he was one of the happiest, most easy going people you could ever hope to meet. |
Mike was a great friend of ours and those who knew and worked with him, will miss him greatly.
In tribute, below is the opening page from the biography he was working on with Gareth Owen. Sadly only very little was completed before his death.
Our thoughts are with his young son, Michael, and his family & friends.
