The actor, known for playing Damrod in Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy, was receiving care at Palmerston North’s Arohanui Hospice when he passed away on Sunday morning.
Browning had numerous television roles including turns in Xena, Hercules, and Power Rangers. He was also known for his work in soaps such as Gloss, Shortland Street, and The Brokenwood Mysteries. He was friends with David Bowie, whom he met whilst filming Browning’s first feature, Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence.
