RIP Ian Holm - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

Damn. I've seen the versatile Holm in so many movies over the decades, and can honestly say I never saw him give a bad or uninspired performance ever, regardless of the size of the role or quality of the film.

Though most members likely know Holm for his parts in various sci-fi/fantasy classics, he gives an utterly masterful, quietly devastating performance in the haunting and intimate drama THE SWEET HEREAFTER that I can't recommend highly enough. R.I.P.

RIP. One of the greats, and woefully underrated.

Holm's pronunciation of "Klee-vidge" never fails to make me smile.

Rip.

I didn't realise that he was that old tbh.

What a sad loss of a great talent.

RIP

Loved him in The Fifth Element.

A huge loss.

His monologue in The Sweet Hereafter is one that needs to finish high on all "best movie speeches" lists:

I never saw Ian Holm in any films, just convincing characters who looked like him. A terrible loss. RIP

Sad news. Holm was in many great films. Off the top of my head, some of my favorite roles of his were in:

Alien (1979)

From Hell (2001)

Big Night (1996)

What a loss. I liked quite a few of his performances, especially From Hell.
