Hugh Armstrong (actor) Hugh Armstrong (1944 – 26 January 2016) was a stage, television and film actor. He is best known for his portrayal of the monster in the 1972 cult British horror movie, "Death Line", and as Harry Wax in "How to Get Ahead in Advertising", acting alongside Richard E. Grant. Armstrong’s performance in "Death Line" was said to have achieved the impossible by making a ‘grotesque violent cannibal seem pitiful and sympathetic’. His obituary, written in the magazine of his old school by Clive Akass, stated that ‘life was Hugh’s theatre. He was a travelling entertainment and until the illness that marred his later years, and sometimes even then, he brought laughter wherever he went’.
