Former radio host Ronnie McGhie expressed his surprise and sadness at the news: "I am totally shocked to learn that Scottish actor Vincent Friell has passed away. He was on many shows, but will be remembered for his performance in the film Restless Natives. One wonderful movie. My thoughts are with his family and friends Vincent, you will be missed.''

For his part, director Carter Ferguson, who had the opportunity to work with Friell, has published on What a charming, funny, talented guy. He joined us in my feature film Fast Romance.

Friell starred alongside Joe Mullaney in an exciting and fun story in which two young people decide to end their boring lives and become 'urban bandits'. To this day, many still remember the young people dressed in two masks (one of a werewolf and the other of a clown) and their Suzuki GP 125 motorcycle.
