Re: Christopher Plummer dead at 91
Thanks for pinch hitting on All the money in the world.
He had a really good run. One of his last acting jobs was the Canadian show Departure. He shot 2 seasons of it. The first season is on Peacock. And of course he was great in Knives Out. The fact that he was still a working actor into his 90s is an amazing accomplishment.

Well, it's done. It's happened. The stars are clear. The planets shine. We've won. Oh. Some darkforce, no doubt, will show it's face once more. The wheel will always turn; but for now it's calm. And for a little time, at least, we can rest.

What a legend, might have to watch Beginners again tonight. So glad he won the Oscar for this performance and it didn’t feel like a lifetime achievement award.

Another great actor that I grew up watching so many of his movies is gone. He was so good in Michael Mann's The Insider where he plays 60 Minutes host Mike Wallace.
I was surprised that he wasn't even nominated.

2021 really is starting out shitty.
Plummer was always good. He seemed to finally start really getting his due toward the end of his career, but I think he was one of those actors who made it look so easy for so long that he was often taken for granted.

First Hal Holbrook and now Christopher Plummer. Two great actors in one week.

I saw this two nights ago and never did it cross my mind that he was going to die later this week
RIP and he still did great and memorable work in his later years.
Hollywood lost a legend today.
I saw this and even though it did not get great reviews he was great in it as usual

I wasn’t familiar with a lot of his work. In fact hand the seen The Sound of Music until after watching The Undiscovered Country; so to me he’ll always be associated with Star Trek.

What a class act. And one of the last greats from his generation. Very sad day.

Re: Christopher Plummer dead at 91
Sadly his cause of death was from a head injury after a fall.

Re: Christopher Plummer dead at 91
In a business that usually ages people into lesser onscreen roles, he was doing top notch work right into his 90's. Good for him.
In the span of a year Sean Connery, Gene Hackman, Robert Duvall, Clint Eastwood and Christopher Plummer all turned 90. We've lost 2 of them now. Hopefully the rest have Kirk Douglas longevity!
