What a fabulous career, and what a loss this is. Just a fantastic actor. May he RIP.

Definitely a commanding presence and talented man.

Him, Christopher Lee, Richard Harris, Ian Mckellan, and Donald Sutherland are a category of guys I’ve come to enjoy in their later years for that special thing they bring to a movie.

In 2021 alone, we've lost Leachman, Tyson, Holbrook, and now Plummer, all 4 Oscar winners or nominees.

Apparently he died after falling and hitting his head, which unfortunately reminds me of how Chick Hearn died. He seemed to be in good health and I didn't think he was going to go anytime soon.

As Omar said, dammit.

Elder gravitas. They all somehow became much more charismatic with age...and better at acting, too? Bit of both? Patrick Stewart is there for me, along with Connery in the 90s.

Don't forgot to add Max von Sydow to that list, I often confused both Max with Christopher Plummer, excellent character actors can seamlessly blend into any role they took on.

Yeah I knew I might be missing someone.

Yeah, but different vibe from those two.

RIP.

As a heist movie enthusiast, I thought he was pretty good in Inside Man.

RIP

He lived a long life but it still kind of surprised me.

Legends are leaving us and its a shame that there's nobody else coming up to take that mantle either.

Damn. Didn’t realize he was from Canada. His career and talent certainly aged like wine. RIP

An interesting fact about Plummer was that he never watched his performances after the fact. Meaning, yes, he never saw any of his movies.

So handsome and studly in the Sound of Music.

My mom's favorite movie of all time and I have probably watched it all the way through at least 10 times. What music, what a movie, what an actor.

They don't make them like that anymore.
