Let other people remember Michel Demitri Chaloub — better known as Omar Sharif — for his roles in Lawrence of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago, and Funny Girl, or for being a top-ranked bridge player:
That’s right, he even had bridge-playing software named after him!
I’ll remember him for him as Agent Cedric, the hapless secret agent in the Elvis movies-meets-spy films parody Top Secret!
For more about how Omar Sharif ended up in a comedy made by the same people who made Airplane!, check out this Entertainment Weekly article, where he’s fondly remembered by David Zucker.
Requiescat in pace, Mr. Sharif.
