Dos_Box Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Another fine actor passes away Christopher Lee dead: Legendary actor passes away at the age of 93 - People - News - The Independent I hadn't realised he was that old!
DalekSec Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Dracula, a sith lord and a heavy metal vocalist, can't get more metal than this.. RIP
OkayiDave Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Dracula, a sith lord and a heavy metal vocalist, can't get more metal than this.. RIP Don't forget Saruman. RIP to a legend.
sonofsanta Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 A real legend of a man. There's not many folk release heavy metal albums in their 90s. My favourite Christopher Lee story: From Peter Jackson’s DVD commentary: “When I was shooting the stabbing shot with Christopher, as a director would, I was explaining to him what he should do… And he says, ‘Peter, have you ever heard the sound a man makes when he’s stabbed in the back?’ And I said, 'Um, no.’ And he says 'Well, I have, and I know what to do.’” The things he did in World War 2, attached to the SAS, are still classified.
ICTDirect_Dave Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Awww that's a shame. He was a superb actor and the perfect villain. What a good innings at 93 though!
LincolnE Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 He's lived a good life... done more himself than 30 of us would want to accomplish I'd say.
Garacesh Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Bloody heck, 93?! I didn't realise. Also what's this I hear about a metal band? I'm definitely going to have to look into that xD Will always remember him for Saruman and Count Dooku. RIP
tmcd35 Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 That's it! I'm finally going to get hold of the old Fu Manchu films and rewatch then in honour of a fine actor!
jdoyle Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 He left a deep impression (rubs neck...). So many good films to his credit.
rich_tech Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 such a sad loss, legendary actor there with real gravitas in any of his roles
LiamH Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Such a great actor who could turn his hand to so many roles. Big loss.
Elison Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 This is so sad!! I was out of the Internet for a few days and today only read the sad news He was a wonderful actor And he will always live in our hearts Rest in peace, Christopher.....
sonofsanta Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Another fact I didn't know, as taken from io9: In the ‘50s, Lee was engaged to Henriette von Rosen, daughter of Count Fritz von Rosen. The Count apparently didn’t like Lee, because after hiring private detectives to investigate the actor and demanding references, he also refused to allow his daughter to marry him unless Lee got the blessing of the King of Sweden. Lee got it.
Garacesh Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Oh wow, that's amazing. Nobody will ever be as badass. The world is worse a place now
