Omar Sharif (1932 - 2015)
==Film Deaths==
*The Fall of the Roman Empire (1964) [Sohamus]: Disarmed, he is being held at swordpoint by Stephen Boyd in the climactic battle when a Roman soldier throws a spear into his chest. (Thanks to Brian)
*Doctor Zhivago (1965) [Dr. Yuri Zhivago]: Dies of a heart attack while calling out to Julie Christie in the street.
*Genghis Khan (1965) [Genghis Khan/Yesugai]: Playing dual roles as father and son, Yesugai is torn apart limb from limb as he is tied to four different horses that move in different directions. Genghis Khan is mortally wounded in a brutal fight with Stephen Boyd; he dies shortly afterwards with his wife (Francoise Dorleac) by his side, after turning over his throne to his son.
*The Night of the Generals (1967) [Major Grau]: Shot twice in the chest by Peter O'Toole when Omar goes to arrest him. (Thanks to Zoran and Robert)
*Mayerling (1967) [Archduke Rudolf]: Commits suicide. (I haven't seen any of this myself, but I read it depicts the Archduke's suicide.)
*Che! (1969) [Che Guevara]: Executed by a firing squad; his body is shown being carried out on a stretcher at the beginning of the movie, and the rest of the movie shows his life leading up to the execution.
*The Burglars (Le Casse) (1971) [Abel Zacharia]: Buried alive when Jean-Paul Belmondo inundates of sand in factory.
*Mysterious Island (1973) [Captain Nemo]: Killed when his submarine and the island are destroyed by a volcanic eruption (after a metal beam falls on him, pinning him to a console), on top of having been shot and mortally wounded. (Thanks to Johan)
*Monsieur Ibrahim (2003) [Monsieur Ibrahim]: Suffers a car accident and dies after talking a last time to his foster-son and saying he would not die, but "join the immense". (I hope I translated it like it's in the English translation; I've seen the movie in French.)
==TV Deaths==
*The Far Pavilions (1984) [Koda Dad]: Still alive when we last see him but dying of a bullet wound to the stomach. He stays behind to hold off the squad of Afghans pursuing Amy Irving and Ben Cross. (Thanks to Brian)
*Anastasia: Mystery of Anna (1986) [Tsar Nicholas II]: Executed along with Claire Bloom, Christian Bale and other royal family by a firing squad of Bolsheviks. (I haven't seen this, but I've read other entries and familar with the history)
