Hideo Kojima pays tribute to veteran actor Udo Kier, who appeared in over 200 movies and featured in upcoming project OD before passing away: "He was truly an 'icon' of his time"

Udo Kier at the 72nd Cannes Film Festival in 2019.

Veteran actor Udo Kier, who has appeared in over 200 films including Flesh for Frankenstein, Blade, and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, as well as video game roles in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 and his upcoming appearance in OD, has passed away aged 81.

Kier is set to star in the upcoming Hideo Kojima game OD alongside Hunter Schafer and Sofia Lillis. Kojima pays tribute to the actor on Twitter, saying: "I'm at a loss for words. It all happened far too suddenly. Because of the strike, we weren't able to shoot 'OD' for a long time and we were forced to reschedule to next year. Even during that time, Udo and I exchanged emails frequently."
