[Deus Irae]

Actor Max von Sydow has died at the age of 90.

His agent told the Associated Press Monday that von Sydow, who was born in Sweden but became a French citizen in 2002, died on Sunday.

The actor’s remarkably long career stretched back to the late '40s and featured appearances in a number of classic films including Ingmar Bergman’s 1957 film The Seventh Seal, the same director’s Oscar-winning 1960 movie The Virgin Spring, William Friedkin’s infamous 1973 shocker The Exorcist, and 1986’s Woody Allen-directed Hannah and Her Sisters. He was nominated for a Best Actor Academy Award for his performance in 1989’s Pelle the Conqueror and secured a Best Supporting Actor nomination for 2012’s Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close...

Max Von Sydow, such an iconic presence in cinema for seven decades, it seemed like he'd always be with us. He changed the face of international film with Bergman, played Christ, fought the devil, pressed the HOT HAIL button & was Oscar nominated for a silent performance. A god.

It was rumored that Brady was planning to come back to the Pats if Von Sydow lived through next week. Looks like he’s moving on now.

He was also the evil brewmaster in "Strange Brew" with Bob and Doug Makenzie.

One of my all time favorites. Definitely had the powerful screen presence of the great ones. At least to me anyway.

Imagine having a career like this and having your obituary headline reference a bit part in Game of Thrones.
