Good bye to a brilliant actor, RIP Otto! :salute:

Had the honor to work with him about 3 years ago. His body had already been a little weakened by the cancer, but his mind was still brilliant as ever. A very down-to-earth man with a great sense of humor - not always compatible with people who easily blush. :oops::)

RIP sir, the interactions between him and Prochnow made the movie, he was utterly convincing as an actor.

I never seen any of his other work, but I recognize greatness when I see it.

Thanks for the entertainment Otto. Much appreciated.

Great actor. :salute:

A very solid actor he was, far beyond just that single role, both before camera and on stage.
