He was awesome as Saruman in Lord Of The Rings

Remember his Dracula movies from when I was a kid. Scary.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Yep, always played excellent villains, made you feel their character.

 

[Leadeye]

A good life lived. RIP

Grew up watching his Hammer films. Scared the bejeebers out of me, way back then. I'll miss his wit and skill on the screen.

Scaramanga vs James Bond (Roger Moore) in The Man With the Golden Gun (1974)

 

[Mark 1911]

He was awesome. I remember getting chills down my spine watching him as Dracula.

RIP.

Same here....

Lot's of cleavage in those films IIRC...Those vampire chicks in those Hammer films were awesome and made for some interesting nightmares for me at about age 12.....

"Yeah mom...It was real scary but kind of nice too...Am I normal?"

"No son you're not, but it's not because of the hot eurotrash chicks in the Hammer films.....It's like I told you, vampire girls are not real and it's the corsets that make their chests look so large......."

"If God loves me and wants me to be happy do you think He might get me a girl like that when I am older???? Minus the pact with Satan of course.."

"Here is a Teaspoon of Bourbon and Honey...Now go back to sleep..."


RIP Good Sir....And thank You for living long enough to finish out the Lord of The Rings Trilogy...They wouldn't have been the same without you.....

I was surprised my son knew who this was but he remembered him from the Dracula movies and drew this as a tribute to him.

He was a great actor and will be missed. He was so much better than most of the craptasict actors idolized today that it make me weep he is gone.

That is a much better drawing of him than I could ever do, tell your sin he is good at this stuff to have done this.

The last of the great old line British actors.
He was the perfect Saruman, so good that J.R.R. Tolkien himself would have approved.
He was in over 200 films, and as if that weren't enough, just take a look at his extensive history of service in WWII here - Christopher Lee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
RIP, Sir Christopher Lee; not only a great actor, but a great human being.

Thanks. He is an art student and has a lot of natural talent. My avatar is a picture he drew with a ball point pen at work the other night when he was bored.

Found out some interesting things I did not know about Christopher Lee and rather than start a new thread I thought I would place them here...Anyone interested in Special Forces history should watch all of this...He was a fascinating man...

I remember him being interviewed about his WW2 experiences and he asked the reporter "can you keep a secret?" When the reply was yes, he said ' well so can I".
