‘Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more than that. A life well lived.’ * Kiefer Sutherland *‘He had a wonderful enquiring brain, and a great knowledge on a wide variety of subjects…He combined this great intelligence with a deep sensitivity, and with a seriousness about his profession as an actor.

I will miss his presence in this world.’ * Helen Mirren *‘a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and one-of-a-kind actor who inspired and entertained the world for decades’ * US President Joe Biden *‘He was a man with a strong presence, a brilliance in his craft and truly, truly a great Canadian artist’ * Justin Trudeau, Canadian Prime Minister *‘One of our greatest actors’ * Rob Lowe, actor and co-star in Salem’s Lot *‘One of the most intelligent, interesting [and] engrossing film actors of all time’ * Ron Howard, director *
