              Excellent in "The Seventh Seal" and "Three Days of the Condor" as well.

              Other than that he mostly seemed to play Nazis - and he wasn't even German. RIP.
              His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

                One of my favourite actors but I think for last ten years I been wondering about this day.

                RIP von Steiner, Ming, et al.

                He had a negative bluety on a quackhandle and was quadraspazzed on a lifeglug.

                I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

                  A great actor, but he was also in the worst Bond ever (thankfully a non-canonical remake)

                    Agreed. I hope he was very well paid, by way of compensation...

                      One of few redeeming features of Stallone's Judge Dredd movie. RIP Max.
