Aged 82, not a bad innings.

RIP. A bit younger than I thought.

The closer I get to 82 the more it seems way too young...

I was just thinking the same. 3 and a half decades for me, and people will be saying not a bad innings for me.

It all moves so fast... Nirvana's Nevermind is over 30 years old now FFS.

He had an incredibly prolific career. I just checked out his filmography and he went non-stop from 1961 -2018. That's a 57 year stretch.

Not quite non-stop. His career appeared to be all but over in 1981 when he dropped out of the Holcroft Covenant following the death of his sister. He was also suffering at the time from the effects of his excessive drug use. However he managed to resurrect his career in the late 80s with films like Alien Nation and especially Misery, and worked pretty much constantly after then.

He was fantastic in so many films, but his best roles were probably in The Godfather, the Gambler, Rollerball and Misery.

I really enjoyed him in Cinderella Liberty too.

Wow just remembered Misery now that you mention it. What a great film! Kathy Bates gave me nightmares after that.

Great performances from both of them.

Superb in Elf

Oddly, the film I always think of when his name is mentioned is 'Rollerball'.

RIP

Rollerball was a formative film of my youth. Aged 10, my mate Sean said his older brother, Clyde (they had a Scottish dad) had this cool film on video that was really violent. We watched all the matches and fast forwarded through the boring bits in between.

It's still a great film and part of that 70s "future dystopia" movement. Set in 2018.

I was probably around 21 and remember going to the cinema to see it with some mates. The sound of the skaters roaring around the track was awesome. I think we were a touch late getting there and that was the 1st thing we saw as we were taking our seats - definitely a film that worked far better in the cinema than on tv. Probably not a great film (6.6 on IMDB) but, for me, a memorable one.

Handsome bastard with a kind face.

Great in everything. My favourite of his was Dogville, when he was a merciless killer, dealing out death and retribution, because to not do so would be 'arrogant".

[Hal Jordan]

Trumpy old fool, sadly.
