A great screen presence and a true gentleman who died a nonagenarian yet still at the top of his game. Respect and RIP.

I'll never forget how this movie "La Caza Real del Sol -- The Royal Hunt of the Sun" opened my 10 year old eyes. I'll always remember Christopher Plummer as being a part of that. I imagine this flick is probably at the bottom of the memory hole.

And also "Gandahar (1987)", voice only, but what a movie!
Thank you Christopher Plummer.

Cry havoc, and let slip the dogs of War!
Everyone raise a glass of Romulan Ale to Plummer, who played a great, underrated villain in Star Trek VI.
You always knew you were in for a quality viewing experience when Plummer's name was in the credits.

I wish I could unread this, undo my Google search, and take back what I saw. That was utter bumpkins.

Christopher Plummer, a life-long Trekkie, was a great Shakespearean actor with great screen presence. His fellow Canadian, also a great Shakespearean actor, William Shatner, was his understudy. Years after Henry V, they were reunited for StarTrek; The Undiscovered Country.
Yes! @Arrrgh-Type 11:30a JST - We can all recall Plummer spinning around in the Klingon command chair: “Cry havoc, and let slip the dogs of War!”- as Chang, an underrated villain.
Yes. *@BigYenToday 9:08a JST. - For choosing some bad roles, he stood by his convictions; no forgiveness is needed. Sometimes, great actors choose ‘**one performance for the art’ and one ‘for the paycheck*’ (Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, etc). Also, Germany’s ‘National Treasure’, the great David Hasselhoff was able to hone his own acting skills while working with Sir Christopher Plummer in the 1978 StarWars ‘ripoff/cash-grab’: ‘*StarCrash***”. (Plus, after you hear Sir Plummer’s final speech, you will understand where Mr. Shatner learned his phrasing for dialogue.)

Him and James Mason as Holmes and Watson in Murder by Decree. Real class act.
RIP, sir.
