Star of Only Fools and Horses Nicholas Lyndhurst looks set to stay in acting after the tragic death of his son.
Nicholas' friend Laurence Marks said the actor - who filmed much of Only Fools and Horses in Bristol - was unlikely to act again after his son Archie died aged just 19 in 2020.
But a representative for Nicholas said the devastated star will continue his career with parts and scripts he's drawn to, The Sun reports.

It was revealed in January last year that Archie had passed away from acute lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukaemia.
It is a rare condition that kills 800 people a year.
Nicholas' friend Mr Marks told the Daily Star Sunday: "Nicholas underwent tragedy.
"It must have broken his heart. It would break anyone’s heart.
“He has always kept himself to himself and now he’ll do that more than ever. Now he’s lost his son, he’ll never come out again.
"I doubt we will see him do any more acting."
A representative for Nicholas told Metro: "Of course he and his wife are devastated by the sudden loss of their young son but Mr Lyndhurst will continue his career with any parts and scripts that attract him."
Nicholas' other notable role was playing Gary Sparrow in Goodnight Sweetheart in the 90s.
He also played Dan Griffin in the BBC drama New Tricks and Adam Parkinson in Carla Lane's series Butterflies in the 70s and 80s.
