Dennis Hopper did a voice in Alpha and Omega as his last role, I haven't seen it, but I'm sure it's poo poo.

star wars was a pretty good movie and I'm pretty sure the only thing it saw the last of was geroge lucas' sense of humility which isn't exactly an actor

e: stop just posting movie titles, poo poo heads. at least also post hte name of the actor who died while, or shortly after, making it

He did it on purpose, which gives him an edge on the competition. He was 100% in it to make his grandkids happy by being in a video game movie and get a fat paycheck for it.

Plan 9 From Outer Space famously contained some of the last footage filmed of Bela Lugosi.

Transformers was Orson Welles' last movie

edit: Should read that op.

The way It's looking League of Extraordinary Gentlemen might be Sean Connery's last flick. Unless he managed to be in something after that but it bombing is apparently why he retired

Orson Welles probably identified with the role of playing a planet that ate other planets because he was apparently fat
