20 Actors Who Died In 2020

20. Max Von Sydow

Max von Sydow had one of the most well-travelled acting careers of all time, appearing in 11 films for director Ingmar Bergman in his native Sweden - most famously 1957's The Seventh Seal - before making his mark on Hollywood.

Von Sydow's best-known roles include Father Merrin in The Exorcist, Ming the Merciless in Flash Gordon, and more recently the Three-eyed Raven in Game of Thrones.

An actor who classed-up practically any movie he appeared in, von Sydow was an acting giant who received two Oscar nominations throughout his career - for Pelle the Conqueror in 1989 and Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close in 2012 - and remains one of the most magnetic screen talents there ever has been.

The actor died of undisclosed causes on March 8 at the age of 90.
