Dead at the age of 93 of a respiratory illness.

Phenomenal actor, metal head.

Damn.

He certainly reached a pinnacle of acting that few reach. RIP.

That sucks. I mean, it's hard to be too broken up given the amazing life he led and that he was 93 years old and all, but still... Life. He did it right.

I read an article that he has 275 listed feature film credits. That is absolutely nuts.

Terrific actor. He'll be missed.

I always loved this story about Christopher Lee:

While we can only guess at what sort of classified things Christopher Lee got up to while he was in the SAS, one incident during the filming of Lord of the Rings gives insight into the kind of action that he saw. In a scene reserved for the extended version of Return of the King, underling Grima Wormtongue stabs Saruman in the back. Director Peter Jackson was coaching his actors on how to approach the scene, when something unexpected happened. Christopher Lee asked Jackson if he knew what it sounded like when someone was stabbed in the back. He then followed it up with: “Because I do.”

According to Peter Jackson, Christopher Lee then began talking about “some clandestine part of World War II,” although, as always, he withheld details. Jackson had wanted him to shout in pain when he was stabbed. Lee explained that when you are stabbed, “the breath is driven out of your lungs,” and he gave a good impression of what it would actually sound like—more like a strangled gasp.
