[DarthVader]

Great actor for a long time. Many memorable roles. May he RIP!

[Ken H]

90 active years is a splendid run. RIP

[Beowulf9]

When I think of Sydow I think of the Seventh Seal and Hannah and her sisters.

RIP Sydow.

[Crucial]

Great actor...loved him in Strange Brew!

[Ken H]

King Osric.

[LouieFisk]

A chess match that we all eventually lose.

[Jonty30]

That’s the best way to go, on top.

[BradyLS]

He also starred in Strange Brew (the Mackenzie Bros. movie).

The most memorable role for me was as Joubert, the no nonsense professional assassin in Three Days of the Condor.

The Left will remember him only by his racist acts of cultural appropriation.

Joubert in Three Days of the Condor.

Outstanding acting.

I think Liv Ullman is still around. She was another favorite actor that director Ingmar Bergman included in many of his films.

[MacNaughton]

It looked to me he was having a lot of fun acting in Steven King’s “Needful Things”.

[Berosus]

I remember Max Von Sydow from “Dune” and “Flash Gordon,” but what role did he play in “Star Wars?”

[Waverunner]

Saw this in 74 as part of a film class.
Great Movie.. ( also Potemkin,Repulsion,Butterflies are Free)

He was also great as Ming.. and the music was insane.

And as the assassin in three days of the condor, the consummate professional.

I’ve got some movies to re watch now.
God Bless a craftsman of the old school.

Doctor Kynes Rest In Peace bro

The old man who gave the map to Skywalker to Poe Dameron for safe keeping. He was killed by kylo Ren maybe 3 mins into the force awakens

[nfldgirl]

I always think of him playing Jesus in The Greatest Story Ever Told.
