Having worked with A-list actors including Pierce Brosnan, Robert Downey, Jr., and Cate Blanchett over the years, Andrew became an expert in his field and a leading dialect coach in the British and American film industries.

Also upcoming is Andrew's last appearance as an actor in a feature film. Currently, in the post-production phase, the 76-year-old stars as Doctor Thompson in "Rising Wolf."

Impressively, Andrew worked as a dialect coach on 114 different productions since the 1980s. Even though his 14 acting credits pale in comparison, they made a memorable impact nonetheless.

The entertainment industry lost another legend due to the coronavirus pandemic on March 25, when Mark Blum passed away at the age of 69.

Mark, known for his roles in "Desperately Seeking Susan" and "Crocodile Dundee," got diagnosed with COVID-19 a week before he passed away at a New York Presbyterian Hospital. According to his wife Janet, Mark had pre-existing asthma.

Following his death, Madonna, who starred with Mark in "Desperately Seeking Susan," reacted to the "really tragic" news and sent her condolences to his family.

Other celebrities reached out as well. Cynthia called Mark "one of the loveliest humans ever," while Rosanna Arquette said that she felt "deeply sad" at the passing of such a "kind man."
