RIP Christopher Plummer "Mr Sound of Music "

[CowgirlsFan]

Thank you for your contribution to the entertainment industry.

I mean, what can you say? One of the greats.  He's probably best known for "Sound of Music," but his work as a character actor over the past few decades has been stellar. He's definitely on a short list of actors who I'll watch any movie just because they're in it.

 

He famously had some disdain for his most cited role, but came around on that. I think there is some story where he was pushed into watching it at a kid's birthday party and couldn't say no, and it won him over.

 

Great life. R.I.P.

He used to call it “The Sound of Mucus.”

My wife’s favorite movie.

 

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye.

RIP to an absolute legend!

One of the all-time greats! 

 

I loved him in about 10,000 films, but "Battle of Britain" is a personal favorite.

pretty interesting. I don’t know how he could have not liked that movie or his performance in it. It’s a great and timeless movie. I am pretty sure it won 3-4 Oscars, including best picture.

His best performance was General Chang in Star Trek VI.  You can't beat him quoting Shakespeare as a Klingon.  RIP.

Loved him in National Treasure as well.

 

RIP

"Sound Of Music", like "Fiddler On The Roof", movies that few guys admit to enjoying.

I love SOM.  Never really saw FOTR.

A few years ago, I had the privilege of seeing him in New York City on Broadway starring in "Inherit the Wind" alongside Brian Dennehy.

 

Seeing both actors give such powerful performances is a moment that I will never forget.

I was in New York City for the draft and this was the night before.

 

I really wanted to see something on Broadway that I had not seen before. When you're by yourself, it's easy to get one ticket.

 

When I heard that both Plummer & Dennehy were starring in this play, I jumped on it.

 

What a moment it was. I was very lucky to have been there that night.

Was "Old Time Religion" performed?
