That should read SIR Christopher Wonka Dracula Saruman Dooku SCARAMANGA Lee. You can't leave out his role as the Bond baddie in The Man With The Golden Gun. After all Lee was Ian Fleming's cousin.
@Xicer: awesome you are watching a show better than some of the newer scifis.i own all the boxsets.
and glad he got knighted.he has had a very long and good film career. #christopherlee
@gertymac: Wow! I loved (ok, it's "love" I still totally love it) The Last Unicorn but I had no idea that Christopher Lee voiced a character. He was King Haggard! I totally hear it now! #christopherlee
@gertymac: Have you read the book? If so (and even if not, I think it works just as well if you've only seen the movie) here's a link to a short story the author wrote that is a sort-of-sequel to The Last Unicorn. Let me know what you think.
Nothing was ever going to be as good as The Last Unicorn, but I liked the story. I think it captures the same feeling of melancholy and inevitable sadness as the original.
Don't forget the voice of Death in most of the Discworld movies. (every time I read Pratchett, I still hear all his lines spoken in Lee's voice) #christopherlee
@bluehinter: And now, although I've never seen a Discworld movie, so will I. Lines like YOU LIKE GREAT BIG DOGS, I IMAGINE just got even more awesome. #christopherlee
@Barnabus: Helpful hint - if you want to start with something decent go with "Hogfather" (a Christmas time viewing has become a ritual among my friends and I). Then be prepared for the disappointment that is "The Colour of Magic". I'd honestly say you're better off skipping it. #christopherlee
@Crowbot: For contributions to culture. Much more important. Otherwise, the Mundanes would be walking around in shades-of-gray reality, yes? #christopherlee
ABOUT DAMNDED TIME!!! So now the Hobbit can bost 2 Knights in the cast...that is if Saruman shows up. Sir Ian Magneto Gandalf Mckellan and Sir Dracula Saruman Dooku Lee were awesome in the original trilogy. #christopherlee
I believe you're mistaken. The LOTR trilogy already had 2 knights: Sir Ian McKellan and Sir Ian Holm (Bilbo Baggins). Sir Christopher Lee, unless I'm mistaken, would be the third. #christopherlee
Well the video is sort of on topic. There's something funny about Peter Cushing calling up Christopher Lee on the phone (about a minute into the clip). #christopherlee

Lee: "-With two lightsabers, your excellency-"
Prince Charles: "Oh, just play along will you?"
