Christopher Lee had a voice that made anything it touched sound epic. His metal albums we're awesome,  every movie I've seen him in was just epic, and he even did a voice over in one of my favorite video games of all time. He'll be missed, but he certainly didn't die with his song still in him.
Perhaps you should ask bosk to reverse the "e" and "a" in the second half of your user name.

A very sad day indeed.  Didn't see it mentioned here (could have missed it) but he actually met Tolkien.  :metal

Yeah, I guess reading is fundamental  :lol
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

I was looking on Amazon for books about him. His autobio is very expensive, probably because it's out of print

Sad day. Not unexpected, since he was 93 and wasn't in the greatest of health.

He is obviously a legend, for me it is his role as Saruman that I will always remember him for. Lots of great Christopher Lee material in the extended extras for the Lord Of The Rings films which I am tempted to watch again. One of my favourite Christopher Lee stories is for his death scene in Return Of The King, when they were directing what to do when he gets stabbed in the back and he says "That's not the sound someone makes when they get stabbed in the back... it's more like this", and they were just like "Ok, you know better than us."

How many times is this story going to be told in this thread? :lol

I'm not sure I've ever seen him in anything either.  I never liked Star Wars, so I never bothered with the prequels, and I got bored with the first Lord of the Rings about an hour into it, so I turned it off.  Okay, I guess I have seen something with him, although I have zero recollection of him.

Regardless, I am aware of what a screen legend he is.  R.I.P.

The Man With The Golden Gun ? He was Scaramanga.

Sad to hear it, the man was a legend.
