He had small supporting roles in two of Trevor Howard's last films, White Mischief (1987) and The Dawning (1988), with the latter released only after Howard had died in 1988. Grant was much criticized for telling an interviewer after Howard's death that the actor had been drunk throughout the filming of both films, and, on the latter, had been so advanced into alcoholism that he had been unable to stand up and even had had to be carried to the set.
