TV Show
The TV episode does not feature him as much as the book, and he is not present for the climax of the episode until the very end. He is also much older in the episode in comparison to the book as his tombstone in the book suggests he died at age 30. His actor, Ian D. Clark, was in his mid forties at the time of filming.
