Obit: Ian Richardson, 72... asked, "Pardon me, would you have any Grey Poupon?"

Obit: Ian Richardson, 72... asked, "Pardon me, would you have any Grey Poupon?"

Ian Richardson, who brought Shakespearean depth to his portrayal of a thoroughly immoral politician in the hugely popular satirical TV drama "House of Cards," died Friday at age 72, his agent said.

Besides his many stage, screen and TV roles, Richardson appeared in mustard commercials as the man in the Rolls-Royce who asked: "Pardon me, would you have any Grey Poupon?"

His other TV roles included Bill Haydon in John Le Carre's "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy"; Sir Godber Evans in "Porterhouse Blue"; and Sherlock Holmes in "The Hound of the Baskervilles."

Another case of a very accomplished actor who became famous for a silly commercial or a bit part in a sitcom. Sadly, he will end up in the Clara Peller one-line wonders wing of the Museum of TV and Radio.
