He did a lot of things. He was Admiral Greer in several of the Jack Ryan movies, including Hunt for Red October. He was a pretty chilling villain in Conan the Barbarian. He voiced Mufasa in The Lion King. His first role was a small one in Dr Strangelove!
I saw him in Much Ado About Nothing in the Old Vic about 11 years ago. That voice... just something out of this world.

Unfortunately, despite his high achievements, much of his life was blighted by alcoholism which he eventually conquered.
