So sad, 56 isn't that old really. My favourite thing he did was Drop Dead Fred.

It is so shocking, I loved Rik Mayall in Drop Dead Fred and the Young Ones, and I have all the Bottom series.

RIP Rik, you will always be remembered by your hilarious character.

Poor Rik. Who grew up in Australia in the 80s and 90s and didn't know about the Young Ones and Drop Dead Fred? :(

That's the only thing I remember him for.

@Janissy: My all-time favorite actor was Leslie Nielsen, and when he died in '10, I was in total shock--even though he was in his 80s.

Was really shocked by this and it felt rather strange watching Bottom and The Young Ones on tv last night :( Even weirder as his character tried killing himself :/
