This is sad news. Though I remember him much more from '70s films like Young Winston and The Three Musketeers and its sequel The Four Musketeers: Milady's Revenge than I do from anything he did with DC. He also appeared in one of my favorite adaptations of Wuthering Heights.

Besides the Musketeers films, I also remember him as Zor-El, Kara's father, in Supergirl.
