This deceased foreign actor is associated with a particular genre of film. He often starred with another actor who was taller than him and they became good friends off camera. He was also in one of the biggest films of all time that spawned prequels, sequels, and spin offs.
Off camera, he was a very kind man who did a lot for charity including recording readings of audiobooks and often appearing at charitable events. One of the biggest things he did to raise money for charity (care of senior citizens was his main cause) was to leave not only all of his money to his favorite charities when he died but much more profitable all of the various memorabilia he had saved from that famous movie, a lot of which was signed. Some of the organizations he gave to were smart and held onto it and made even more money for those under their care.
Peter Cushing (Christopher Lee, horror movies, Star Wars)
