Legendary actor Christopher Lee dead at 93

Christopher Lee: he could turn schlock into Shakespeare.

Christopher Lee, who has died at the age of 93, brought dignity and gravitas to the most fantastical of roles. His talent will outlast us all, says Robbie Collin.

Part of it was his face and imposing 6’5” frame, which had the sharply hewn angles of a medieval woodcut. And part of it was the wood-fire crackle of that bass-baritone voice, which made every script sound like illuminated manuscript. But there was also something less easily explicable at work; he imbued every character, however far-fetched, with a cold and granite grandeur, as if each one was a monument that would withstand whatever time and the weather could throw at him.

Sad. He reached a good age though, and did well. He will be missed.

I liked him in all the horror movies he was in.

First movie I seen him in his character name was Francisco Scaramanga in a James Bond movie, The Man with the Golden Gun.
Up to The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey as well movies before OO7 & after.

Rest in peace Christopher Lee thank-you for the many hours of entertainment. To his Family & Friends my condolences
