R.I.P. Christopher.
Great actor. Entertained many over decades since 1946. 281 actor credits. Was in pre-production at 93...wow!

Not sure who was the better and scarier Dracula, Bela Lugosi, or Christopher Lee, but his portrayal scared me when I was a kid.
And of course, Saruman is another favorite villain of mine...
To: Perdogg
Sorry to hear that.
Don’t remember the star wars role, is he Grand Moff Tarkin?
I do remember his LoTR role.

OK, just checked. Grand Moff Tarkin is played by Peter Cushing.

They actually approached Christopher Lee first to play Tarkin, but he declined.
So, you were close.

I don’t know about sad....93 is quite a long life. You still have the movies to see him whenever you need to.

Sad news. He was great in everything he did, going back to his portrayal of Dracula in his Hammer Film days and up to Saruman and Will Wonka’s father. RIP Chrisopher.
