Success Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I mean, what can you say? One of the greats. He's probably best known for "Sound of Music," but his work as a character actor over the past few decades has been stellar. He's definitely on a short list of actors who I'll watch any movie just because they're in it. He famously had some disdain for his most cited role, but came around on that. I think there is some story where he was pushed into watching it at a kid's birthday party and couldn't say no, and it won him over. Great life. R.I.P. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 RIP to an absolute legend! One of the all-time greats! I loved him in about 10,000 films, but "Battle of Britain" is a personal favorite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know how he could have not liked that movie or his performance in it. It’s a great and timeless movie. I am pretty sure it won 3-4 Oscars, including best picture.

Doc Brown Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 His best performance was General Chang in Star Trek VI. You can't beat him quoting Shakespeare as a Klingon. RIP. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) A few years ago, I had the privilege of seeing him in New York City on Broadway starring in "Inherit the Wind" alongside Brian Dennehy. Seeing both actors give such powerful performances is a moment that I will never forget. https://www.playbill.com/article/plummer-and-dennehy-to-inherit-the-wind-on-broadway-com-135388 Edited February 12, 2021 by Mark Vader 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in New York City for the draft and this was the night before. I really wanted to see something on Broadway that I had not seen before. When you're by yourself, it's easy to get one ticket. When I heard that both Plummer & Dennehy were starring in this play, I jumped on it. What a moment it was. I was very lucky to have been there that night. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
