Only fools star Lloyd-Pack dies in London British actor Roger Lloyd-Pack, known best as Trigger in Only Fools and Horses, has died aged 69. BRITISH actor Roger Lloyd-Pack, forever known to millions for his role as amiable dimwit Trigger in Only Fools And Horses, has died at the age of 69. His co-star in the BBC1 sitcom, David Jason, was among those who paid tribute, saying he was not only a fine actor but "a pleasure to work with." Lloyd-Pack, whose other memorable portrayals included his regular role as farmer Owen Newitt in The Vicar Of Dibley, died in London. His agent, Maureen Vincent, said he had pancreatic cancer and "died at home surrounded by his family." Lloyd-Pack clocked up appearances in dozens of TV shows such as The Borgias and had a recurring role in BBC series 2Point4 Children as well as many films including a recent appearance in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, in addition to being a respected Shakespearean actor. But he will be best known as dopey road-sweeper Trigger in Only Fools, a show which continues to hold a fascination with viewers long after it ended. "I was very saddened to hear of Roger's passing," said co-star Jason - who led the cast as Del Boy Trotter in the comedy. He was a very quiet, kind and unassuming actor who was a pleasure to work with. Although he played the simple soul of Trigger in Only Fools And Horses, he was a very intelligent man and a very fine actor capable of many roles. I shall remember him with fondness and for all the good times we had together. Father Ted creator Graham Linehan paid tribute by explaining how Trigger had been an inspiration for one of his own characters. "Very sad news about Roger Lloyd-Pack," he said. Trigger was an ancestor to Father Dougal and I'm glad I once had a chance to tell him so. Lloyd-Pack was born into an acting family in north London and his father, Charles, was a regular in Hammer horror films. The lofty actor - who appeared regularly at Shakespeare's Globe in central London - acknowledged that the association with Trigger could be frustrating. In a 2012 interview with the Guardian, he said: "People will never stop shouting 'Trigger!' at me in the street. The other day I jumped some lights on my bike because someone was hollering at me. A police van pulled me over, and when I stopped they also shouted 'Trigger!'. It can be very annoying. He was also politically active and a prominent campaigner for left-wing causes in the capital.
