    Who was Ray Stevenson? 'RRR' actor passes away at 58
    Ray Stevenson passed away on Sunday, days before what would have been his 59th birthday on May 25

    The actor who played the wicked British governor Scott Buxton in 2022's RRR, Ray Stevenson, passed away on Sunday. The death was confirmed on Monday by his representatives to The Associated Press. However, the cause of his death is not known at present. Stevenson was known to be a part of several iconic projects including Chris Hemsworth-led Thor and HBO's Rome, among others.

    Who was Stevenson?

    Born in Ireland in 1964, the seasoned actor began his career in theater before becoming a British television actor. He made his film debut in the year 1998 with The Theory of Flight, directed by Paul Greengrass. He was also seen in Antoine Fuqua's directorial King Arthur and much later in Punisher: War Zone, a pre-Disney Marvel movie.

    'RRR' team paid tribute to the late actor

    Stevenson played an important role in SS Rajamouli's RRR. The seasoned actor was seen in a negative shade as the villainous British governor. The makers of the film condoled his death through a social media post. Rajamouli also penned an emotional post for Stevenson on his Twitter handle, along with an image of him from the sets of the movie.

    'Shocking,' said Rajamouli on learning about Stevenson's death

    Shocking... Just can't believe this news. Ray brought in so much energy and vibrancy with him to the sets. It was infectious. Working with him was pure joy.

    My prayers are with his family. May his soul rest in peace. pic.twitter.com/HytFxHLyZD
