He was 93, I saw this coming when I watched the extras on the 2nd 3d Hobbit movie. He looked very frail.

Still the man lived a long life, and entertained most of us here in one way or another. I loved him in a lot of his roles. Its a big loss, but at least he lived a very long and full life.

RIP, man who was Saruman and thus a dearly loved part of my life... :tcry:

[raph27]

A heavy loss. I loved his Saruman performance. RIP. :tcry:

[snake]

Rest in peace, man. Loved him.

[Prowler]

My first exposure to Christopher Lee was as a kid with his amazing voice-acting as King Haggard in The Last Unicorn; he was my favorite Dracula, he rocked it as Saruman and was an all-round stellar actor who committed 100% to every role he played.

This is depressing as all hell - he was a wise, talented and accomplished person. We won't see his like again. :(

[Jester]

Man....time for a Hammer Dracula film marathon.

Fantastic roles there indeed.

Yes he was great as King Haggard too.

RIP Dracula, Sauraman, King Haggard, Wicker Man and more.

[pennydreadful]

Agreed - Hammer Dracula marathon will be on the agenda for the weekend, methinketh. Might spin Hammer's The Mummy and The Curse of Frankenstein as well, since he appeared in those.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Like penny, I first knew him as Haggard. Big fan of the Hammer Dracula films, too. So sad to lose such a great actor. RIP, good sir.

[GoldMutant]

I really hope his family is doing well from it. Christopher was an amazing actor and one of the best in the business. I hope he rests peacefully now, his career like Burgess Meredith will be one we'll look at as an excellent legacy for years to come.

RIP Christopher Lee. :(

[shuriken]

oh man what a great actor and person. RIP

[Darthknuxward]

Everybody's dropping like flies this year. RIP Christopher Lee. You will be missed. Hammer marrathon for me as well.:(

[blindturtle02]

I first saw him in Gremlins 2 back in the early 90s. Loved that guy ever since. RIP, sir.

[Prowler]

He's one of those people who you just never imagine dying. You kinda just believe he's immortal, like Clint Eastwood or Al Pacino. hard to believe those guys are gonna leave us someday as well.

[BubblyShell22]

I only knew him as Saruman, but he played the role well. He will definitely be missed.

[Klunk1234]

Christopher Lee was a great actor. His roles as Saruman and Count Dooku were awesome.

[Gin Rummy]

Man, I just watched Dracula: Prince of Darkness the other night. I used to watch all the Hammer Horror movies when I was younger. I had not heard that he passed away until I checked his wiki to see what he was up to. I don't feel to sad, as it is quite apparent that he had a long, successful & full life. Still my thoughts go to his Family and friends. He seemed like a really wonderful man.

Interesting fact I learned. Apparently Lee never really enjoyed playing Dracula. He did the movies strictly to create jobs for the Studios Production staff. That's awesome!
