With more than 150 film credits, no one played the bad guy with more menace than Christopher Lee.  He will be missed.

I was very sad to see he passed.  At age 93 he had a great run, though!  So many memorable roles, on and offscreen.  One of my favorite stories about his was when a director tried to explain to him the sound of a man being stabbed in the back.  Lee, having served in the OSS during WWII, informed him that he knew well what it sounded like. :o :icon_twisted:

Sad news.  I always liked him.
He was awesome as an alien in Space:1999 second episode "Earthbound".

Truly, sad news. Of course I really can't think of him without his Hammer Studios companion, Peter Cushing. Their horror movies will live on forever. His body of work is remarkable. RIP Mr. Lee.

It's Sir Christopher Lee. He's a Knight.



May he rest in peace.

Sir Christopher was in 206 films.  Mel Blanc, the voice of so many characters, did voices in over 700 films. A handful of Bollywood actors have up to 500 credits.  John Wayne has the most credits for a lead actor in 142.  Wikipedia has Sir Michael Caine at 114, but he releases something new seemingly every 48 hours, so I bet that number is out of date.

You nailed it with that comment.   There used to be  "real actors" Christopher Lee is one.  Today I see the majority of actors that act not towards the camera but to towards their  "Look at ME " fan base.

Well said.  Christopher Lee was one "bad ass" Dracula in those Hammer productions.

Interesting write-up in The Guardian:
