Veteran actor Max von Sydow will be honoured with Career Achievement Award by the Los Angeles Film Critics Association (LAFCA).

The 88-year-old actor will be presented with the honour at the annual awards dinner on January 13, reported Deadline.

"We are thrilled to give the Career Achievement award to such a magnificently talented actor.

"Over the six decades hes commanded the screen, Mr von Sydow has earned a reputation as the greatest living actor," said LAFCA president Claudia Puig in a statement.

von Sydow has starred in over 100 films, where he played characters as disparate as an assassin, a king, an exorcist, the devil and Jesus Christ - in several languages.
 

He has also worked with filmmakers ranging from Ingmar Bergman, Bertrand Tavernier, Sydney Pollack, Penny Marshall, Martin Scorsese, Wim Wenders to Steven Spielberg.

The actor will next appear in "Kursk", a drama about the submarine disaster in 2000, directed by Thomas Vinterberg, also featuring Lea Seydoux and Colin Firth.
