TORONTO -- The death of Canadian acting icon Christopher Plummer on Friday sparked an outpouring of tributes from members of the theatre and film community who called him a consummate performer.
“It was just a thrill to watch him work all the time,” said Egoyan, recalling a time during the filming of Remember when an 85-year-old Plummer insisted on performing his own stunts. “He was never afraid of making a fool of himself. He just wanted to try and experiment. He was very youthful, very vigorous.”
“He was always fun as a villain because he was willing to do terrible things,” said Wilner. But Plummer had limits too. In the 1978 film "The Silent Partner," Plummer apparently refused to film a violent murder sequence in which his character killed a woman as a show of bravado, so a stunt double took his place.
Bumbray said Plummer’s talent and professionalism was highlighted recently when he stepped into the 2017 movie “All the Money in the World,” which originally cast disgraced actor Kevin Spacey, and “reshot all of his scenes in like a week.”
So true.
Canada’s greatest professional actor without question. The best remaining actors now reside on Parliament Hill.
