...And I also remember him as "Brewmeister Smith" in Strange Brew.
But in all seriousness, Von Sydow was one of the greats.

That’s how I knew him too.

“The Night Visitor” was a real gem. Also the hit man with ethics in Three Days of the Condor.
Rest in peace, Max.

I only remember him from “Hawaii” with Julie Andrews. His character was grotesque, but his acting was wonderful.

He was a wuss minister in “Hawaii”. Played opposite neanderthal Richard Harris over the affections of Julie Andrews.

Also the hit man with ethics in Three Days of the Condor Loved him in this. He was scary and nice all at the same time.
Also if anyone ever wondered what the inside of the World Trade Center looked like, Three Days of the Condor has quite a few scenes shot inside the building circa 1973
