Actor Max Von Sydow, who appeared in films and TV series including The Exorcist, Flash Gordon and Game of Thrones, has died at the age of 90.

His family announced "with a broken heart and infinite sadness" that the Swedish-born actor died on Sunday.

Von Sydow's other film credits included Hannah and Her Sisters, The Seventh Seal and Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

He was nominated for two Oscars during his career - including best actor in 1988 for Pelle the Conqueror.

” Three Days of the Condor “

Shows how a rising tide can lift all boats

Robert Redford - best role I ever saw him in.
Faye Dunaway - best role I ever saw her in.
Cliff Robertson - best role I ever saw him in.

and

Max von Sydow - who just about stole the whole damm movie from all three of them.

I do not under stand why movies of that quality cannot be made any more.

“... Three Days of the Condor....”
GREAT flick.

90 is a good run, but still sad to hear this.

RIP.

Starting at 4:50 in interview, he tells about being a doubter, but Ingmar Bergman said he would send a message after he died. Max said he heard from him, but would not give details. He said he was not a doubter anymore.

That Max and O’Toole never got an Oscar and Nicholas Cage did tells me all I need to know about the Academy.
