Sad to hear. He was the most interesting dude ever. He was a knight. Lived in a castle. Was in more movies than anyone ever. Was a direct decedent of charlamaine the great. Was a classically trained opera singer. Put out an operatic metal album a few years ago. Man hes gonna be missed

we've lost the greatest villain this world will ever see.

He was my favourite American actor, he nailed the British accent every time

WHAT ISN'T THAT GANDALF FROM LORD OF THE RINGS?? Ohnoooo :-( rip! You shall pass in heaven!

I didn't want it to be true. Also I first read about it on facebook and celebrities get declared dead falsely every week there. So I was looking for proof to refute what I read there.

Not upset, he was 93, he fucking lived, and did shit he wanted to do, worthy of a salute, metal until the end.

A stake was nailed in his heart?

he's not dead faggot

He was one of my favourite actors of all time. I was still waiting for his next Christmas message.

Fucking shame, honestly.

pretty much "offs, again no one will be able to shut the fuck up for the net 3 days about this, i bet 4wangs is filled with jokes about dead gandalfs"

I have to agree. Bela Lugosi was a better vampire at any rate.

Sad I won't see him in anything else, but damn, what a life and career.

Christopher Lee R.I.P.

What a life! A WWII veteran (first of the SAS no less), linguist, artist, musician, actor, bona fide star and champion of the best british film ever made.

So what is everyone's favourite performance by Lee? The obvious roles for me are Lord Summerisle and Scaramanga, although I've always had a soft spot for his part in Pete Walker's House of the Long Shadows.

I've got a soft spot for his wordless Dracula in Prince of Darkness, partly because it's so bizarre that he never speaks. Is it true they couldn't afford to pay him his going rate if he had any lines in that movie?

Obviously Lord Summerisle other than that, and he was absolutely perfectly cast as Saruman too. As regards Summerisle, it's cool how much he personally championed The Wicker Man too, which would otherwise have been pretty forgotten.

I thought he didn't speak because he didn't like the lines.

Actually I just Googled it and found this at the BFI:

"A popular myth alleges that the lines written for Dracula were so bad that Christopher Lee chose to play the film silent. While it is true that Lee utters no dialogue throughout, internal memos show his agreement to record a TV trailer for the production with extremely poor lines, suggesting that the decision to play the part silent was taken by Fisher."
