Gordon Jackson remembered

[fiorenza_a]

I always think one of the great strengths of The Professionals is that Cowley was never just there to give the lads someone to answer to. He's a real presence in the show and hence in the fandom. Not just in charge of the lads, but one of them. Even in the early publicity.
A fine actor whose work is worth remembering.

And a lovely man too; more: a real gentleman.

Gosh, is it really twenty-five years? Yes, indeed, a lovely man in all ways, and Pros wouldn't be at all the same without him. Cowley is such a fascinating, strong character.

I also enjoy his 'presence' in the series. It would have really lacked something without him. I'm glad they broke with tradition and wrote his character that way.

I think Gordon Jackson is epic in the show. He delivers a powerhouse performance in so many scenes. I utterly believe he is George Cowley in every way - gentleman, old dog, diplomat, spy, military man, civil servant, right old bas*ard. The show would be so much weaker without his character and without his actor.

the professionals just would not be the same without him .....he is their leader in every sense of the word , what a wonderful actor and a true gentleman x
