Actor Max von Sydow (best known as the Three-eyed Raven these days, I guess, but also as the Knight Antonius Block playing chess with Death in The Seventh Seal) has died today, aged 90.

I loved pretty much everything he was in. One of my favorites was as the bad guy in "Strange Brew".

I don't know if this is weird, but I think I know him best as the voice of Esbern in Skyrim.
Rest in peace, old man. May your soul find eternal merriment in Sovngarde.
I knew him as the guy who has the map in Episode IX. No clue he was the seventh seal guy until today.

I was telling my wife he'd passed and she said, "Who?" So I went through his roles.
Me: The Three-Eyed Raven from game of Thrones?
Her: Uh...I think I remember that.
Me: The priest from The Exorcist?
Her: The young guy?
Me: The bad guy from Strange Brew?
Her: Oh him! I love him!

First introduced to him as the main character in The Greatest Story Ever Told, didn’t learn about his (many) other roles until later. I think the next thing I ever saw him in was The Ultimate Warrior battling Yul Brynner, which was quite a contrast from his role as Jesus.
Still have not seen Seventh Seal, Strange Brew, Dredd...
