Dang! Such a great actor!

I can't even recall all the things he's been on.

[DrCaleb]

Off the top of my head, he played in "Lord of the Rings", "The Man with the Golden Gun", The Hobbit "Battle of the Five Armies", the newer Star Wars Ep II "Clone Wars". And that's just recently!

I can't recall how many video games he's been a voice actor in, and I think I recall him on "Space 1999" on TV!

[2Cdo]

He'll always be Dracula. RIP Mr. Lee

[xerxes]

He lived a long and eventful life and made more movies than you can shake a stick at. A damned fine actor whose work will live on long after his death.

RIP.

RIP

Great actor, both he and Peter Cushing made a good Dracula movie team. RIP

[xerxes]

It's also worth noting that in addition to be an accomplished actor, Christopher Lee was a member of britains Special Operations Executive. Aka, the league of ungentelmanly warfare. He also served with Ian Fleming in that same unit.

So he didn't just play a Bond villain, he actually served during WWII in a similar capacity as 'Bond'!

[xerxes]

Yup. Bad ass in film. Bad ass in real life.

[xerxes]

[Jabberwalker]

He had evil down pat.

He was probably a really nice man, in real life.

[rickc]

Wow what an inning he had! This guy was making movies before I was born, and he was still knocking it out of the park until the day he died. RIP Mr. LEE.
