Very sad. He was a legend.

Yes, his acting seemed effortless and his characters as casually worn as an old coat. I will miss him.

A wonderful actor, from "Three Days of the Condor" to Bergman to "Flash Gordon."

Grim,

I'd also like to say that the very scene you chose to show is one of many excellent examples of his work, as well as one of my favorites. He stole the movie with a few minutes of acting.

I've been amused at the obituaries that claim his first major role was in _The Exorcist_. Apparently Bergman's films don't exist. (I saw _The Seventh Seal_ as a child and was very, very confused.)

I read today that he made the transition into video games, and was a significant character in Skyrim. That's voice acting, of course, but the character was also modeled on him physically.

Can confirm that, Grim.
