RandomAct Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 So weird. I was playing Kingdom Hearts II yesterday, and was thinking he had already passed. He'll go down as one of the truly underrated actors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Damn. RIP to the man that put Count Dracula and Hammer Films on the map. Really enjoyed the late renaissance of his career with Sleepy Hollow and the LoTR films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eivion Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I always enjoyed anything I saw him in. His voice had a certain power to it that always made his presence felt. This is incredibly disappointing to say the least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Lee elevated anything he was in no matter how mundane or goofy. Hammer horror was such a big part of my childhood, I loved the late career resurgence, and he was recording metal albums in his 90s. Any actor would be envious of his reach in pop culture.

Burgundy LaRue Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 On some other message board, I once read a comment/fan fic that had Edward Cullen as a descendent of Lee's Dracula. Which is BS. Because Lee's Dracula, while dapper, was vicious and would actually fucking kill you with no remorse. He will be missed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecchirebirth Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 The man was also metal as fuck, releasing 2 symphonic metal albums in 2010 and 2013. He did the spoken word passages for Rhapsody of Fire's albums as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Damn. I'll miss him and his amazing voice. Time for Hollywood Heaven to make that Christopher Lee/Leslie Nielsen Grumpy Old Men buddy cop movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 As soon as I saw Christopher Lee trending I was like “please don’t let this be what I think it is.Maybe he just fucked up and said something stupid.” And it was what I thought it was. Sadness. At least he lived a long life, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimo Necro Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 93 is a grand old age, for a grand old actor. What a life from World War 2 service, SAS service, a Knighthood, getting to star in all those awesome Hammer movies with Peter Cushing, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and Metal Albums. His Biography is just flat out full of awesomeness. RIP Good Sir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingus Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I knew this was coming sooner rather than later, when I heard that all of Saruman's scenes in the new Hobbit trilogy had to be filmed in England because poor Christopher was too ill/weak/whatever to travel out of the country. But it's still a tremendous loss. ...I guess that Death was just biding his time until he finally took Terry Pratchett, and then afterwards was all like OKAY, I'M GOOD NOW? Suppose I should finally get around to watching the original Wicker Man now, considering Lee said it was his very favorite movie that he ever made. This is acting here, son. I absolutely adore that scene. Raw Meat is a semi-obscure movie and most of the scenes without Pleasance or the monster are pretty bland, but that one-scene run-in by Lee is one damn fine piece of cinema.
