    Saw this earlier. Bummer. I still think the role of his that sticks in my head was the one time he played Jack the Ripper or some other serial killer. Can't remember the name of the movie, just remember that his performance was stone cold chilling. :(

    Wasn't that "From Hell" with Johnny Depp?

    Damn. I loved him in The Fifth Element and, of course, as Zerah in Jesus of Nazareth.
    May he rest in peace.

    Don't forget his role as Napoleon in Time Bandits.

    I think, maybe, yes. I'd have to look it up, but I'm about to head out the door.

    He was in his 40s when he did that. Playing a Napoleon in his 20s.

    Damn...

    I most remember him as Vito Cornelius from the Fifth Element, and then as Ash from Alien. I thought he was great as the bumbling priest in the Fifth Element.

    Saw Alien when I was way too young. The beheaded android scene was nightmare fuel for me, kudos sir. RIP
