Very sad. He’s remembered for Bond but his body of work was so much more than that.
Not just Bond...
Malone : [talking privately in a church] You said you wanted to get Capone. Do you really wanna get him? You see what I’m saying is, what are you prepared to do?
Ness : Anything within the law.
Malone : And *then* what are you prepared to do? If you open the can on these worms you must be prepared to go all the way. Because they’re not gonna give up the fight, until one of you is dead.
Ness : I want to get Capone! I don’t know how to do it.
Malone : You wanna know how to get Capone? They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. *That’s* the *Chicago* way! And that’s how you get Capone. Now do you want to do that? Are you ready to do that? I’m offering you a deal. Do you want this deal?
Ness : I have sworn to capture this man with all legal powers at my disposal and I will do so.
Malone : Well, the Lord hates a coward.
[jabs Ness with his hand, and Ness shakes it]
Malone : Do you know what a blood oath is, Mr. Ness?
Ness : Yes.
Malone : Good, ‘cause you just took one.
He was great as Father von Baskerville in The Name of the Rose, and Allan Quatermain from The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
Great actor, especially when you compare him to the garbage actors that are coming out of Hollywood these days.
“Very sad. He’s remembered for Bond but his body of work was so much more than that.”
His role in “The Hunt for Red October” was far better! He was a genius and an actor that got better with age. If I am not mistaken he was awarded the title one year in his late 60’s or early 70’s of “Sexiest Man Alive.”
He was great as King Arthur in First Knight.
