Christopher Plummer voiced misc chars?

On UESP, it mentions that both Max Von Sydow and Christopher Plummer are up for the Supporting Actor oscar.

It also mentions something I suspect may be erroneous about Plummer's voice work for Skyrim...

Recognition of video games hasn't reached the point where Oscars are given out for voice acting, but if proof were needed of the talent http://www.uesp.net/wiki/General:Bethesda managed to gather for http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Skyrim, it came when Christopher Plummer (http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Arngeir) and Max von Sydow (http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Esbern) both received a http://www.bethblog.com/2012/01/24/skyrim-voice-actors-collect-oscar-noms/ as http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20120124/OSCARS/120129987 in the 2012 Academy Awards. Plummer, who also voiced several other minor characters in the game, received his nomination for the role of Hal in rom-com http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beginners, while von Sydow received his for playing The Renter in Charge in the darker film, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremely_Loud_and_Incredibly_Close_%28film%29.

Who else did he voice? Can any in particular be named? I had doubts about claims that Claudia Christianson voiced other chars, but that held out when I checked the voice types with Skyrim NPC Editor (her voice type is labeled "FemaleCommander"). I'd like to know who else he voiced so I can check his voice type.

I can't think of any other characters that sounded like him (I think I have a good ear for it). The closest I can think of is that old mage in Winterhold, Holfdir or something.. but it's not the same really. I don't know. Wikis aren't always reliable. I mean, some people put random junk in them. "Aela is the only character that can perform assasinations with Nettlebane." Yeah, ok.

Spoiler
Arengeir for Plummer. Esbern for Von Sydow.
EDIT: Von Sydow also narrates the trailer
