Sad news. Always loved this guy's work.

Over a career that spanned six decades, Finney appeared in memorable roles like Hercule Poriot in Murder on the Orient Express, the tortured protagonist in John Huston’s Under the Volcano, mob boss Leo in the Coen Brothers’ Miller’s Crossing, Daddy Warbucks in 1982’s Annie, the weaver of tall tales in Tim Burton’s Big Fish, a New York detective in Wolfen and, in another Oscar-nominated role, lawyer Ed Masry in Erin Brockovich.
In 2011, Finney revealed that he had battled kidney cancer, and while he reportedly defeated the disease, he scaled back his acting roles: His last credits include 2007’s The Bourne Ultimatum and, his last big-screen appearance, the caretaker to the James Bond estate in 2012’s Skyfall.
