Paul Geoffrey, the film and television actor who appeared in Excalibur and had a brief
appearance in Better Call Saul, has died.
The actor was 68 at the time of his death on June
3 from cancer, according to an obituary that ran in the
.
Geoffrey had a string of roles in films and television series throughout the 1980s,
before completely sitting out the 2000s.
He returned to acting in the past decade with occasional parts, and his last role was in an episode of the Epix series Perpetual Grace from 2019.
Geoffrey, who was born and raised in England, began a second career as a real
estate broker after moving to Santa Fe, New Mexico, though he managed to balance his new profession with his first love
later in life.

'A thespian to the core, Paul continued to act for the remainder of his life.
He loved French wine and food, had a stunning grasp of history, was a life-long Arsenal fan,
and excelled at being the sweetest guy in the world,' read part of
his obituary.
Geoffrey's most prominent role was in the 1981 classic Excalibur, in which he
played Perceval.
The film takes a dark and brutal view of the Arthurian legend,
and director and co-screenwriter John Boorman filled the
movie with disturbing, surreal imagery.
The movie also Helen Mirren and Nicol Williamson, and
it helped boost the early careers of Patrick Stewart,
Liam Neeson, Gabriel Byrne and Ciarán Hinds, among others.
Although some critics were turned off by the dark fantasy elements, it received mostly approval from reviewers
and was a commercial success.
It also won a prize for best artistic contribution at
the Cannes Film Festival.
Geoffrey's role was particularly important, as Perceval is the only survivor after Arthur and his knights have
all fallen, and he is tasked with throwing Arthur's sword
back to the Lady of the Lake, who once again claims it.
The film may have helped the actor earn a string of subsequent
roles, but his career never took of like several of his Excalibur
costars.
Geoffrey's next major role was as Lord John 'Jack'
Clayton in Ralph Richardson's 1984 Tarzan film Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan.
Geoffrey would go on to appear as Mr.
Lockwood in the 1992 adaptation of Wuthering Heights,
which starred Juliette Binoche.
Star moment: Geoffrey played the pivotal role of Perceval in Excalibur and had a pivotal moment in the film
after the deaths of Arthur's other knights, but his career never took off
like several of his costars; still from Excalibur
Staying busy: He went on to appear in Greystoke: The
Legend of Tarzan (1984), along with a 1992 Juliette Binoche-starring adaptation of
Wuthering Heights and a 1995 TV movie of Anna Karenina; still
from Excalibur
He also appeared in a 1995 TV movie adaptation of Anna Karenina, starring Jacqueline Bisset and Christopher Reeve.
In the late 1980s, he appeared in an episode of Inspector Morse, and he stuck to the mystery
theme with a 1990 episode of Poirot.
One of his last high-profile shows was Better Call Saul, in which he appeared
in a 2015 episode as a tailor.
The series was filmed in his adopted home state of New Mexico.
Geoffrey is survived by his wife Sue Taylor
and their three children: Alex, Oliver, and Daisy.
