'Exorcist' actor Max von Sydow dies at age 90

Catch up on the developing stories making headlines.

From his 1949 screen debut in the Swedish film"Only a Mother," von Sydow starred in close to 200 film and TV productions, remaining active well into his 80s. He received two Academy Award nominations— for best actor in 1988 for his gripping portrayal of an impoverished farmer in"Pelle the Conqueror,” and best supporting actor in 2012 for his role as a mute in “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close.

“What I as an actor look for is a variety of parts. It is very boring to be stuck in more or less one type of character,” he once said in an interview. While his characters were often sinister, tormented or evil, the soft-spoken von Sydow said he became an actor to overcome his own shyness. He studied at the Royal Dramatic Theater in Stockholm and acted in small municipality theaters in Sweden for eight years — an experience he later described as crucial for his career.

I liked him as the German officer in 'Victory.'
