Max von Sydow, the legend of Swedish cinema who dueled with Death in a game of chess in Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal and portrayed the resolute Father Merrin in William Friedkin's The Exorcist (1973), has died. He was 90.
Von Sydow, who starred in 11 films directed by Bergman, typically playing a tormented protagonist, died Sunday at his home in Provence, France.
"It's with a broken heart and with infinite sadness that we have the extreme pain of announcing the departure of Max Von Sydow on March 8, 2020,"
RIP He was a great actor, and part of my collective consciousness in movies since I was a child.

I remember him first and foremost as playing Brewmeister Smith - the villain from the movie "Strange Brew".
The movie is a cult classic in Canada, eh?
Saddened to hear of Max's passing.
