RIP: Michael Sarrazin (1940-2011)

http://apnews.myway.com/article/20110420/D9MNIMEG0.html

Michael Sarrazin, the Canadian actor who rose to fame playing opposite big-screen legends like Paul Newman, Jane Fonda and George C. Scott, has died. He was 70 years old.

Sarrazin died Sunday in Montreal surrounded by family after a battle with cancer, said Michael Oscars, his agent and friend of 27 years, said Wednesday.

Born Jacques Michel Andre Sarrazin in Quebec City on May 22, 1940, he appeared in such films as "Sometimes a Great Notion,""They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" and "The Flim-Flam Man," among others.

He also starred in the popular 1973 TV miniseries "Frankenstein: The True Story."

Sarrazin was remembered by his brother Pierre for his "wicked sense of wit," but fans might recall his "soulful eyes."

I just saw this and it surprised me. Great actor. He was one of those actors who you knew was always going to be good in whatever role he was playing. Sad news.
