RIP Christopher Plummer
- Thread starter unassuming
- Start date
Also a prick only person I ever worked with where I was instructed to address as "SIR"RIP
Considering the legions of fans among actors and audiences, I find that hard to believe. He could do it it all, from King Lear to The Pink Panther.
Considering the reverence other actors had for him, it begs the question, did he do it?
Where did you meet him?
What screen presence.
Really liked him as General Chang in Star Trek VI. A Klingon with a Chinese name who was fond of Shakespeare.

Yes such a shock when a 91 year old passes, way too young.
Oscar Winner for "Beginners".
Oscar nomination for playing Mike Wallace ("60 Minutes) in 'The Insider'.
Killer Film!

Actually, he wasn’t nominated for that film, but he darn well should have been. My favourite Plummer performance remains his psychotic bank robber (dressed as Santa Claus) in The Silent Partner. I happened to be working in the Easton Centre when they filmed it.
You are absolutely correct, my esteemed colleague.
For "The Insider" (1999), Mr. Christopher Plummer (CC - Order of Canada) received:
~ Best Supporting Actor form the Boston Society of Film Critics
~ Best Supporting Actor from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association
~ Best Supporting Actor from the National Society of Film Critics (!)
Due to the accolades, I thought of it in my head as a natural Oscar Nomination, which he did not receive.
I daresay he was truly robbed. In your own words: "he darn well should have been".
