Bummer.....Was just reading about the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings last night.

A familiar face but it all got back to me seeing him as the Belgian explorer in Greystoke. What a career!

Really didn’t know he was that old. 88 year old, I’d love to go so far. RIP.

Bilbo continues his adventure through the Netherworld

Sad news. His turn as Ash in Alien is still super-creepy. Oddly, as I write this I'm wearing a "USCSS Nostromo" t-shirt.

Another one of the greats gone. Sad news indeed.

RIP. And, I just saw a commercial for The Fifth Element on Sy-Fy tonight, almost forgot he was in that.
