*Savior (1998) [Peter]: Killed in an explosion when Sanja Zogovic throws a grenade at him by the bridge.
*Deep Blue Sea (1999) [Dr. James "Jim" Whitlock]: Drowned after one of the sharks pulls him underwater while he's strapped to a gurney and being lifted by a helicopter; his body is shown again later on when Thomas Jane comes across his body underwater.

*The Glass House (2001) [Terrance 'Terry' Glass]: Run over with a police car by Leelee Sobieski (as her brother Trevor Morgan looks on in shock) as he stands in the road with a hidden gun (which he then uses to fire at her) behind his back (after he's made numerous attempts on her life). His body is later seen as Leelee comforts her traumatized brother after both exit the car
*Taking Sides (2001) [Dr. Wilhelm Furtwängler]: Stellan survives the film, the captions before the closing credits state that Wilhelm Furtwaengler died in 1954, eight years after the film's events.
* City of Ghosts (2002) [Joseph Kaspar]: Shot repeatedly in the chest, stomach and throat/neck by one of the Russian gangsters he owes money to. His body is briefly seen again on the floor of the bar he's sitting in.

*Dogville (2003) [Chuck]: Machine-gunned (along with everybody else in town) by James Caan's thugs. The massacre was so chaotic, I can't recall if Stellan's death was actually shown, but it's established that everyone was killed.
*Helen of Troy (2003) [King Theseus]: Stabbed in the stomach by Craig Kelly after being hanged by one of his men. He bleeds to death after managing to kill Craig.
