Hollywood is showing their outpouring of support over the loss of Albert Finney, who passed away Friday at the age of 82.
Actors, directors and his co-stars alike are recognizing Finney for his versatility as an actor, his ability to disappear into roles and his handsome charm that helped define a screen persona for generations.
“Remember the great Albert Finney tonight by watching ‘Miller’s Crossing’ and ‘Under the Volcano’ — two vastly different performances that showcase his unique ability to combine power with powerlessness,” “Mission:Impossible – Fallout” director Christopher McQuarrie tweeted.
