    Just saw that, damn he was always a favorite of mine....

    Being a Trek fan, I was always a huge fan of his General Chang in Star Trek The Undiscovered Country....

    Ah ****. I was just telling my wife a week or so ago after watching Remember what a great actor he was at his age. That sucks, we're running out of guys like him much too fast.

    Seems like a lot of older famous people have been dying recently.

    I just watched him in "Knives Out" the other day...which I thought was a very good film. I also enjoyed him in the ST film, "Dreamscape", and "A Beautiful Mind". I was just reviewing his filmography on IMDB and he was in a ton of films. It really is mind-blowing. He will be missed. RIP

    I've never seen "The Sound of Music" outside of that stupid Julie Andrews scene singing "the hills are alive with the sound of music" or whatever. Blah. I don't like it.

    He was pretty much drunk during most of the filming of SoM. If you watch closely (I know because this is my wife's favorite movie) you can see his eyes are bloodshot during almost every scene.

    Plummer was offered the role before Ian McKellen.

    He didn't like Sound of Music for a variety of reasons. His singing parts, including "Edelweis" were actually dubbed over. He was a very good musician. Here's a piece that really displays his singing ability.
