Very few from "The Sound of Music" are still alive.

I read of his passing a little while ago.

Another great actor gone..
It troubles me that I do not remember him in the movie: The Man who would be King.

Strangely, one of my favorites roles is in the romantic comedy: Must love dogs. Even though it was a small part, he added such depth as he does with all his performances.

A great actor in everything he did. The most recent one being "Knives Out." And talk about a man who still looked great into his upper 80's. RIP.

Do you mean you don't remember the parts in the beginning and at the end in Kipling's newspaper office, or that you don't realize he played Kipling? Happens to be among my all-time favorite movies, by the way.

It has been many moons since I saw the movie, and I did not remember him playing Kipling.

I re-watched The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Plummer was very good in it.

Played the second best Klingon in franchise history. What a career.

What was the movie he played with burl ives set in the everglades?

This is an excellent film; also staring Daniel Craig and Jamie Lee Curtis. It's available with Amazon Prime. The GF and I are both movie addicts but have rather different tastes with some overlap. We have alternated making the other one watch our flicks every week or so for several years now. This was one of her picks and was definitely an "overlap".

Check it out. Knives Out

I agree. He was awesome (even his over-the-top CRY HAVOC AND LET SLIP THE DOGS OF WAR!!!! moments).

#1 being Christopher Lloyd, surely?

He was awesome in Knives Out. I'm not a crime drama guy, but that was excellent.
