Christian Oliver looks to have completed filming his role in the movie thriller Forever Hold Your Peace before the German-born Hollywood actor died in a plane crash.
Nick Lyon, director of the indie that Oliver also had a producer credit on, could not be reached for comment by The Hollywood Reporter. But on Dec. 20, Lyon took a photo of himself and the late actor on their last day of production together that was posted on his Instagram page on Jan. 4, the day of Oliver’s tragic death.
“This is our 5th film together. @christianoliverofficial and me produced this one, and this is our last day of filming! We talked about producing a film together for years and finally did it! Thank you for being a great colleague, actor and friend @christianoliverofficial #foreverholdyourpeace,” Lyon said on the social media platform as he paid tribute to the late actor.
