Dracula, Fu Manchu, Lucifer, Rochefort, Sherlock Holmes, Ramses, Death, Saruman, Count Dooku, Lucan D'Lere...
But those only scratch the surface of the nearly 300 credits to his name. Sir Christopher Lee is more than an actor; he's an icon. A 6'5", world champion fencing, opera singing, six language speaking, Tolkein meeting, knighted, war hero... icon. [more info] It was because of that list that I could not draw him as Count Dooku like I did with Leonard Nemoy/Spock. That one roll comes no where close to defining him. I mean, in 2010, at 88, he released a heavy metal album...
Sir Christopher Lee, nerd hero.
1922 - 2015
Rest is all peace, sir.
