Horror (and general) film icon Sir Christopher Lee -- who played in everything from the Hammer horror films to The Wicker Man, from The Lord of the Rings/Hobbit trilogies to the Star Wars prequels, from The Man with the Golden Gun to The Stupids -- has died at the age of 93.
He (along with Peter Cushing) was considered for the role of Dr. Loomis, but both Hammer icons turned it down. The role went to Donald Pleasence.
There will never be another. A class act and, it seems, a true gentleman.
He will indeed be missed. Married to the same woman for almost thirty years before she died, and lived to a ripe old age, so that's an achievement in itself. And, at least we have all his films to look back on. RIP, Mr Lee.
This news hit me very hard when I found out. Lee was, awe inspiring. One of a kind. There will never be another actor with the raw determination to bring vigorous life to a character ever again.
Without doubt one of the finest actors in cinema history and it's a shame that he's no longer here.
If ever the term "legend" suited an individual, it damn sure suited Christoper Lee. R.I.P.

Yeah, I am very sad by this. He worked up until he died. For all he accomplished in his life, he never stopped working. He stayed married to the same woman till she died.
And he was making HEAVY METAL CD's late in life. He was a true legendary pioneer. We lost a special one.
I wish I had a chance to meet the man. His work on vampire flicks are (IMO) nearly as important as Legosi's work.
I'm interested in reading animation, horror, sci fy, suspense, fantasy, and anything that is good. I enjoy writing the same. Looking to team with anyone!
