And one of his few, if only, comedy performances: “Hannah and Her Sisters.”

Wonderful actor. RIP, Max!

He played a king in one of the Conan flicks with Arnold. Awesome. He was outstanding in The Kremlin Letter. Great movie. Colonel Kosnov.

I saw that movie in 1971, and have never forgotten it.

(((Both Woody Allen and Monty Python have referenced it. Not to mention Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey! LOL))))

He matched the style of comic book Ming perfectly. Powerful, menacing, and of course, merciless.
