Edward Albert Arthur Woodward [[UsefulNotes/KnightFever OBE]] (1 June 1930 -- 16 November 2009) was a well regarded British actor who is best known for three iconic roles - the title role in the dark and cynical British spy series ''Series/{{Callan}}'', Police Sergeant Howie in ''Film/{{The Wicker Man|1973}}'' and Robert [=McCall=] in the US series ''Series/TheEqualizer''. He's also known for his film roles in ''Film/BreakerMorant'', and ''Film/HotFuzz''. Received the AffectionateNickname "Ewar Woowar" from no less than Creator/JudiDench (reportedly from a theatre marquee where they had run out of 'D's and couldn't bill him correctly) and is fondly remembered by nearly everyone who worked with him. His son, Peter Woodward, is also an actor; the two worked together in an episode of ''Series/{{Crusade}}''.

* OhCrap: He once stated the most scared he ever was in his career was when, as they were filming the burning scene in ''Film/TheWickerMan1973'', he realized they were, in fact, going to ''put him in the wicker man'' (which he'd made a point of not seeing before they shot the scene) and then ''light it on fire''. His terrified screaming was not entirely an act.
