Great montage. True, Edward Woodward was irreplaceable, but I could see someone with his tough, intelligent finesse stepping into the role, perhaps as the original's son. Daniel Craig
might fit the bill. The Robert McCall character is an older James Bond who's left "the company."
Edward Woodward and realistic writing made this easily the best action show of the '80s. His usually grim and businesslike demeanor, against criminals of all levels, was what people actually wanted against that long-running crime wave in the USA. To have him be an older man, and British, and ex-CIA, was also what made this series so memorable and open to plot variations. Throw in that nice Jaguar, a gritty and hard-pounding opening theme, and all watchers knew that they were in for a good ride.
What about Rutger Hauer as The Equalizer ? Played some tough &bad guys on screen. Like to see him in more films. Sean Bean or Liam Neeson. Gabriel Bryne would also be a good choice
OMG he died???? wooooow imagine he would have been surprised by such a (young) huge amount of fans.....i went to my local library and found season 1...i never really got to see the show from beginning to end because i never got time, my dad used to watch it though...i remembered flicking on the A&E channel when it was on, I used to looove the theme song, and still do....he is cooler than any character today even the law and order svu group wouldnt be as tough as him....:( awesome show so smart!
it is nice to see so many american friends with good memories of edward woodward - very underated over here - as a gesture in return , i can assure all you americans that i deeply miss peter falk as columbo - i have seen every episode - rip sir - one more thing ....... sherlock holmes ??? nah - columbo is the best tv detective ever - irreplaceable.
either sean bean, liam neeson or....rob schneider! seriously tho, has to be bean or neeson or as an outside bet pierce brosnan. actually, thinking bout it brosnan wud make a damn fine equaliser.
Class, style, poise, confidence. Great character, fabulous portrayal. Add the exciting theme music and the video clips, no wonder you have a good tribute.
Rumor has it that "The Equalizer" is coming to the big screen...unfortunately, with Edward Woodward passing away, he won't be able to be in the film that made him a big TV star in the 80s...however, I could see Sean Bean ("Goldeneye", "The Lord of the Rings") as McCall in the movie adaptation!
@CesMan83 There's a rumour that Russell Crowe wants to do it. Not sure I'm convinced he could pull off the "yeah, you could try that, but I'd kill you in the most horrible ways imaginable" confidence of Edward Woodward.
@CesMan83 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I don't need Hollywood raping ANOTHER part of my childhood. Leave shows and movies from the 80's alone. Leave the 90's alone too, think of something new Hollywood.
Sad but true, dude. I'm an aspiring screenwriter myself, and if I ever get far in the movie biz, I'll set up a no-remakes clause for myself against the studios!
@CesMan83 Hollywood needs a new bunch of writers and directors to come in and take Hollywood over. Because all the people there now do is make remakes and Movie2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, etc, etc, etc. Hope you make it there, just remember what you said "no remakes clause!" GOOD LUCK!!!!
Thanks, man. I'm hard at work with a few scripts now. Admittedly, creating something completely, purely original is quite hard these days (unless if you're a radical like Charlie Kaufman). I say, though, who cares if what I write seems derivative and reminiscent of other people's material in style or story-wise? As long as I do create something that's otherwise completely mine, and a blatant remake of someone else's work!
I absolutely loved this show. My favorite quote; after he gets praised by someone he has helped........"I am only what I appear to be, nothing more." RIP Edward Woodward.
@k9forkids The Equalizer was anything but a girlyman. Woodward did such a good job in the role that it sometimes felt like he'd could go up against Tubbs and Crocket, Starsky and Hutch, Ponch and John, Thomas Magnum and the lot ... and leave them bloody twitching pulps.
Every scene where there is glass breaking is so fake. Very 80's like. Ahh.....those were the days.....when we just believed without questioning. Makes me laugh.....ha ha ha! :D
i got series one and a christmas special one on avi, i watch em now and again, they remind me of when i used to watch them when i was young,,even tho i know its unrealistic,.its still great, ..............Robert McCall, is Mr Manhattan
China Rain was my favorite episode. To have people help you and risk their lives and they don't even know you. It might be fiction but it sure made you feel good.
loved this show when i was a kid , especially because EW was in Who Dares Wins :) i also think that as TV Themes go The Equalizer was up there with the best
The most underrated action series ever! Edward Woodward had the perfect balance of sensitivity, toughness, and class rolled into one! He was a small screen Bond with a pizazz that had substance. "The Equalizer" would have been a 10 year hit had it not been for Mr. Woodward's heart attack. But this series will forever live with the fans it has made and the impact he made in a short time! RIP Edward you will be missed by myself and the legions of fans you made worldwide. You are the BEST!
The Equalizer was a breath of fresh air after the "too much violence on TV" claims of the late seventies. The networks listened to the critics to such an extent that the action in television shows was watered down to the point of near non-existence. The Equalizer, Airwolf and McClain's Law, to name a few, were a thumbed nose at the critics. Edward Woodward was a dynamic and classy actor.
@DracIsBack Well, consider how long Bonanza ran, for example. It was criminal The Equalizer didn't do a good decade. But I see your point, which makes mine all the more strong! Ha! Anyway, it was a great show. I suspect you were a fan too, so it's cool commenting!
I loved watching Equalizer and Quincy on A&E because they were so hair triggered. They should bring back that programming block. Now all they show is "reality" shows....how lame.
Total classic. Both the man and the show. When are we going to get season 2 on DVD? They released season 1, and then nothing. It's too bad there aren't more good guys on TV like McCall out to help people. Too many anti hero types now days.
Hey i checked some details the character of Robert Mc call was born in the script NOV 16TH 1933, and Edward Woodward himself died as we all know NOV 16 TH 2009,Iwas just browsing on one of the related websites,i feel this was one of Edwards best characters,but i dont know if anyone else thinks this is a very strange coincidence,i did......RIP Love you always Edward xx
He was exceptional, and to think that CBS didn't want him to cast this role, they wanted Robert Culp instead, gratefully, the show's creator talked these morons out of that move. I bought season one of "The Equalizer" a month ago.
Incredible series, Mr. Woodward was an incredible performer, both he and the show were one of a kind..."BamBam9212" sums up the show's essence perfectly...
You can't find shows like this anymore. Not alot of special effects, but still able to keep your attention. Different show every week, not the same old rehashed plot week in an week out. And most of all actors who take the part and become the part.
If they make a movie, which I hope they won't but if they do, Ciaran Hinds would be the best man for the job. He's no Edward Woodward but best of the best who's around at the moment IMHO
So sorry Edward has passed,fantastic actor,lovely human being,nobody could ever play Robert mc call like him,he was a real class act,but will always be fondly remembered..The Equalizer was ace,such a sad time love to his family xx
Any idea who's going to be staring in it? I looked but couldn't find anything. It was such an awesome show I just hope the movie does it the justice it deserves.
I read earlier talks bout bringing back things like the A-Team and this The Equaliser. Personally i think they shouldn't do it. Back in the days they were brilliant, but. u couldn't have the a-team without hannible and the equalizer without richard mccall. They were the iriginals so if it was decided for a new one of each then the actors have alot to live up to
I can't help but fathom how an enduring CLASSIC and Masterpiece like THE EQUALIZER never got much publicity. A motion picture could've been made from it. Regardless, one of the BEST TV shows ever!
i am 26 years old and living in london i have been in the parachute regiment and served in Iraq i would love to see the equalizer back on the street ...............in fact i might be his remake lol,does any1 no where i can buy a decent jaguar...dont wory about the firearms lol
I think an Equalizer movie is a cert at some point in the future. Too soon after Eds tragic passing however. Bless him. They are doing the A-team without originals so McCall is another iconic role that could get hollywood treatment. Have to be vsimiliar to tv series and with a brit actor. i think jason statham or a post007 daniel Craig would be good
God bless and keep you Edward. You were one of the best! With video's I really don't have to let you go, but my sympathies to your family and friends.
Edward Woodward's character of Robert McCall comes from a gone, but not forgotten era. You're right, TV will never be like this again; not without Woodward.
Farewell Mr. Woodward, you will be sorely missed. May you rest in peace.
RIP edward woodwood, my earliest memory of tv is me sitting on the floor by the fire getting ready for bed and my parents watching this. I thought is was action packed and wanted to stay up and watch it. Not only that years later i realized that my earliest movie memory i had was of the wicker man with edward woodwood as well.
So sad to see another one of our lads gone! Best of the old school British bad boys!!! You will be dearly missed by all of us. You will always be star & our thoughts are now with your family! R.I.P our friend...
what about liam neeson if there is a remake?

Have to be vsimiliar to tv series and with a brit actor. i think jason statham or a post007 daniel Craig would be good

Craig maybe but not Statham. I think they should cast someone older---maybe Bill Nighy for example.

Daniel Craig would be an awesome McCall. He portrays Bond that way so it wouldn't be that much of a stretch to see him play it.

Love the video! A timely reminder of a truly great actor who never got his due recognition IMHO.
Very sad to hear of Edward Woodwards passing. I truly loved "The Equaliser". But the series hasn't been on British TV for a very, very long time.
The character (and series) was brilliantly conceived - and magnificently portrayed by Mr Woodward.
God rest you in peace, sir.

LEGEND!!!!! Total legend. He showed on that show not to mess with older guys, they'll never make a series like that again. Great video too.
RIP Edward Woodwood

Edward Woodward's character of Robert McCall comes from a gone, but not forgotten era. You're right, TV will never be like this again; not without Woodward.
Farewell Mr. Woodward, you will be sorely missed. May you rest in peace.

RIP edward woodwood, my earliest memory of tv is me sitting on the floor by the fire getting ready for bed and my parents watching this. I thought is was action packed and wanted to stay up and watch it. Not only that years later i realized that my earliest movie memory i had was of the wicker man with edward woodwood as well.
THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES EDWARD.

He was one of my all time favourite actors from the days of "Callan" (not sure if that was shown in the USA) to The Equalizer.
Rest In Peace Mr Edward Woodward OBE
