MacIntosh rose to prominence for portraying the Scottish accountant ‘Big Keith’ in the sitcom created by Ricky Gervais in 2001. The series, which quickly became a comedy classic, was instrumental in boosting the actor’s career and also inspired a successful American version.
The Welsh actor also had notable appearances in other British comedies, including “After Life”, “Miranda”, and “Little Britain”. In February 2022, MacIntosh shared a photo of himself in a hospital, informing fans that he was going through “difficult times”.
Friends and colleagues of MacIntosh praised the “empathy and incredible care” of the medical team that assisted him. The actor leaves behind his parents and brother, being unmarried and without children.
In addition to his memorable role in “The Office”, MacIntosh again collaborated with Gervais in the final series of “After Life”, where he played ‘Buffet Man’, a character who was barred from an all-you-can-eat restaurant.
His most recent acting work was in 2017 in the British romantic film “Finding Fatimah”, where he portrayed the character Lionel. The artistic community and fans mourn the loss of such a beloved and versatile talent in the world of comedy.
