"My Dear ol drinkin and runnin buddy...see ya on the other side. RIP," Don Johnson wrote in an Instagram post that included a photo of himself with Plummer and Curtis.

"I had very little work with him but we made a lovely connection. His work in that movie is full of life, love and longing. A beautiful portrayal. Honored to have been able to work with him. A warm Aloha, Christopher."
