Check mate Mr Sydow
And to think he was only 42-43 when he filmed The Exorcist...the age makeup is some of the best ever seen and still holds up to this day.Quote

I always thought he brought a certain authority and authenticity to that scene, considering that he did, in fact, play Jesus Christ in The Greatest Story Ever Told. Also played a Bond villain, the head of SPECTRE in Never Say Never Again.

I think most people unfamiliar with von Sydow really thought he was an elderly man after seeing the film.
Yes, he also moved like an old man which made it much more believable, especially in the opening scenes in Iraq.Quote

I thought for years that he was already an old actor in The Exorcist, till I saw him in movies like Minority Report thirty years later and I thought: Wait a minute.. how can this be? and to find out that he was in his fourties when he played in The Exorcist. A marvelous actor with a great appearance.
That's a great goddamn movie. The final exchange between Robert Redford and Cliff Robertson is chilling, and even more relevant today.Quote

Loved him as Joubert, the assassin in 3 Days of the Condor. He was one of the greats, often under appreciated. RIP Mr. von Sydow
