@oniichanhq: Sir Ian Holm would've been 95 today , celebrating the actor behind Bilbo, Ash, and Chef Skinner 🎂🕊️ Ian Holm became beloved by a new generation as Bilbo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings, bringing warmth, humor, vulnerability, and quiet wisdom to one of Middle-earth’s most important characters. But Holm’s career reached far beyond the Shire. He terrified audiences as the android Ash in Alien, voiced the ruthless Chef Skinner in Ratatouille, and appeared in acclaimed films spanning fantasy, science fiction, historical drama, comedy, and Shakespeare. Some of his notable roles include: • Bilbo Baggins (The Lord of the Rings) • Ash (Alien) • Chef Skinner (Ratatouille) — voice • Father Vito Cornelius (The Fifth Element) • Professor Terry Rapson (The Day After Tomorrow) • Sam Mussabini (Chariots of Fire) • Napoleon Bonaparte (Time Bandits) • Sir William Gull (From Hell) • Squealer (Animal Farm) — voice • Pod Clock (The Borrowers) • Mitchell Stephens (The Sweet Hereafter) • Mr. Kurtzmann (Brazil) • Polonius (Hamlet) • Professor Fitz (The Aviator) • Gideon Largeman (Garden State) • Baron Frankenstein (Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein) Six years after his passing, Holm’s extraordinary range continues to stand out from the unsettling calm of Ash to the gentle heart he gave Bilbo Baggins. Happy Birthday in Heaven, Ian Holm. Rest in peace to one of Britain’s most versatile and unforgettable actors. 🕊️ #ianholm
