RIP, he was a fantastic actor. Doctor Zhivago was a stunning performance as was his role in Lawrence of Arabia

Sad news. He was a great actor. Lawrence of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago are some of my favorite films.

RIP

Sad to say I didn't realize he wasn't already dead. Somehow I'd always get him confused with Oliver Reed. Still, RIP to Michel Demitri Chalhoub, a great actor.

For some reason I'm surprised he was "only" 83. Even when I was a kid, he co-authoring a column in my local paper on bridge. Maybe I'll finally watch my VHS copy of Hidalgo this weekend.

Sad to hear this. :(

Although I hadn't seen him in many films, his role in Lawrence of Arabia is unforgettable, and the greatness of that performance is amplified by the fact that he more than held is own next to one of the most iconic performances of all-time by Peter O'Toole.

Very sad news. He was suffering from Alzheimer's I believe.

I'm not ashamed to say that I loved him in Top Secret. May he rest in peace.

I don't remember Sharif being in Top Secret, but I do remember him and Lesley Anne Down in The Pink Panther Strikes Again.

Someone must have been Rockin' the Casbah a little too hard.

Not one of my favourite actors, but he did appear in Lawrence Of Arabia so couldn't have been that bad. RIP.

Hope he took my advice and stopped being a "little people", a "silly people".
