Christopher Lee dies at the age of 93 (theguardian.com)

What a bummer. He'll always be Scaramanga first to me. Although Saruman was probably the role he was born for; apparently Sir Christopher read LoTR every year and understood Quenya.

This guy was awesome. What a loss!

Besides being an awesome bad guy actor he especially gained my respect for dubbing all his roles in German himself. That means you could hear his impressive voice in both languages if you so desired (and I did).

Sad to hear it. Anyone who's interested in his life should check out his autobiography -- it's a fun read.

He was a huge Metal fan. He even worked with Rhapsody of Fire.[1] Hell, he even had his own band![2]

This voice. This voice!

No Count Dokku ! this is a huge loss.

Big loss, but we were lucky to have him around this long, and sharp as ever util the end!
