RIP , I heard he was bankrupt at $-11 million recently , and that he had to hide his emmys for fear of them being taken to pay some of the debt .

That'd be his two Oscars rather than Emmies.

Sad to hear him go. Another actor with some great roles for over thirty years, even if a big part of me will always picture him as Jor-El with a bad haircut in Superman.

He got a fortune for appearing in that - summat like a million, which back in 1979 was a lot.

Watch 'On The Waterfront'. Good movie....
