Just read this on CNN, 73, family was around him. Sad loss, he did some of fun movies and was always a riot to listen too.

The Interpreter remains one of the more underrated thrillers of the 21st century.
Damn. Sorry to hear this - wonderful director and in this day and age 73 is too young.

Said he worked with Minghella, who died after surgery for cancer in March. I wonder if there's some cancer connection. Thinking like THE CONQUERER with John Wayne and cast/crew. Hopefully not.
Good Will Riker

It's a shame, because he was one of the few older Hollywood director-actors who was full of energy and life even into his twilight years. He will be missed.
Rest in peace.

NO! This is terrible news!
I love his work, both as a director and as an actor. I will never forget his appearance on Mad About You.
I didn't even know he had cancer.
Rest in peace, Sydney.

Aw, crap. I didn't even know he was sick. Tootsie is one of my favorite movies. And I loved the movie theater "Silence is Golden" ad he did.
The only movie of his I've seen was his 1995 remake of Sabrina, but that was head-and-shoulders above the so-called "classic" with Bogie & Audrey Hepburn. I will definitely be checking out some of his other works.
I didn't realize he had cancer. I've come to appreciate him more as an actor than a director, but he'll be missed for his contributions in both roles.
A shame the last thing he did was an appearance in that abomination 'Made of Honor,' although he was at least good in it.
RIP.

One of the very few "celebrities" I've encountered in person, and he seemed a very unassuming and gentlemanly person. Aside from his directing and acting, he was an early supporter of the Sundance Film Institute and Festival, and did a lot for the organization behind the scenes.
My wife and I were just talking about him, how solid he has been in his character parts over the years. I didn't know he was sick. RIP, Mr Pollack.

Terrible news. Out of Africa is one of my favorite films of all time.
Shamefully, I've never seen Out of Africa. I'm going to rectify that today.Well, crap.
