Already looked 80 in The Firm (1993). Then 19 years later, he was in Lincoln (2012).

Saw his Mark Twain one man show at the River Center a few years back.

I'll always associate him with Star Chamber and The Firm.

Similar characters with terrifying power.

RIP

Looks like he actually died on January 23rd, it just wasn't announced until today. Weird.

Terrific actor. Should be more highly talked about among the greats IMO.

I’ve often wondered how many older, retired actors have already died and the family just hasn’t released a notice yet. Before his death in October, I half expected to learn that Sean Connery had died in 2010 and nobody had bothered to release a statement.

Keith Richards died in 1975 but no one had the heart to tell him

He had hours of Mark Twain dialogue committed to memory & would freely create shows on the fly.

My favorite will always be his role in Creepshow.
