He died last week. This was one of the bigger under-the-radar stars of the last 50+ years, if that is possible. He has 5 Oscar nominations, 9 Golden Globe nominations (including 3 wins) and 2 Emmy noms (1 win). He is best known to modern audiences for Erin Brockovich, but he has been in a ton of movies, most of them very good. He was selective in his movie choices, rarely chasing an easy paycheck, but he had enough box office hits to keep getting leading, or major supporting, roles. Skyfall was his last movie, and with two Bourne movies, his only franchise films.
I strongly recommend the movie Big Fish (2003). Finney is amazing in a weird little movie that is very good if a bit emotionally manipulative. It is always on a cable channel somewhere.
It is strange that his death has not gotten more publicity.
