Alexander Morton, the Scottish actor probably best known for starring in British comedy drama Monarch of the Glen - but known to me for being the hilariously foul-mouthed dwarf Zoltan Chivay in The Witcher 2 and The Witcher 3 - has died aged 81.

The Witcher game maker CD Projekt Red offered its condolences this afternoon , writing on Instagram that: "We're deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Alexander Morton, the voice of beloved Zoltan Chivay in The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

"Thank you for bringing Zoltan to life. The Continent is already missing you."

Pardon the black-screen opening, but otherwise this video captures the moment you meet Zoltan Chivay in The Witcher 3.…
