His rep Jill McCullough told the outlet, “Andrew lived on one of the oldest working houseboats on the Thames, he was fiercely independent but madly in love with his wife; also a dialect coach; Gabrielle Rogers. Tragically she is stuck in quarantine in Australia having just flown in from NZ last week. She was unable to see or talk to him at the end of his life and there is a chance a funeral may not be held.”
Andrew has worked on more than 80 motion pictures since 1982. His most recent coach project was The Batman, which has suspended production due to the ongoing health crisis.
