Christopher Lee dies at the age of 93 | Film | The Guardian One of the greatest fantasy actors the world has ever known passed away on Sunday. He is best known for his roles as Dracula, Saruman in The hobbit and Lord of the Rings, and as Count Dooku in the prequel Star Wars trilogy. He will be dearly missed.

A great actor who defined several generations of film making. He will indeed be missed.

Must have had some sudden health issues as he looked to be in good shape when making public appearances in recent times.

Goodbye, Christopher. You will be sorely missed. You made being a villain so damn stylish.

Farewell Christopher, time for a well earned rest! You played a fantastic Saruman with that voice and those eyes!

 

[Aidan of the tavern]

One of my favourite actors. His acting was always engaging and powerful, and he always played with a nuanced subtlety that some of his roles didn't always leave much room for. He never played a role as evil, he was too smart for that, he played it as dark.
