Actor Douglas Rain, who was the voice of the sinister computer Hal in sci-fi film 2001: A Space Odyssey, has died, the organisers of a theatre festival he founded have said.
Rain died at the age of 90, according to the Stratford Festival in Canada.
The actor performed for 32 seasons at the Shakespearean festival and was nominated for a Tony Award in 1972.
But he will be best remembered as the voice of Hal 9000, the AI computer in Stanley Kubrick's landmark 1968 film.
