Actor Christopher Lee Has Died at 93
Christopher Lee (or Sir Christopher Frank Carandini Lee) has played his last on-screen villain. The actor and singer died Sunday at the age of 93, reports The Guardian, after a career in which he played very few positive role models, but an astounding number of antagonists in fantasy, Sci-Fi, and horror films; as a young man, Lee played a career-launching Dracula, as well as a James Bond villain, the perfectly unsettling Lord Summerisle in The Wicker Man, and dozens of other characters (not all of them evil). Into his 80s, still in demand for the creepiness he was so good at projecting, Lee portrayed the fallen-from-grace wizard Saruman in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings adaptations, and the evil Count Dooku in George Lucas's Star Wars follow-ons. He was also perhaps the only Knight Bachelor to have released an album of symphonic metal. Even at the time of his death, Lee was involved in film projects, so his legacy will always be immense but incomplete.
Not many actors get to span good chunks of two centuries, with great roles in each.
SJW's don't eliminate discrimination. They just expropriate it for themselves.
Rest in peace, Sir Lee.
I heard that when he died, a grey mist gathered, and rising slowly to a great height like smoke from a fire, as a pale shrouded figure it loomed over the Hill. For a moment it wavered, looking to the West; but out of the West came a cold wind, and it bent away, and with a sigh dissolved into nothing.

Not really a good summary at all. And what the fuck does Chuck Norris have to do with anything?
Yer, he's the definitive Rochefort. To be honest, I would ban anyone making any musketeers films or series ever again because there simply isn't any point.
Naturally. It's much too dangerous to jump through a fire with your clothes on.

I really liked him as Death in the animated adaptations of the Discworld novels Soul Music and Wyrd Sisters. He could actually speak in all caps.
This man did, however. If there ever were a real someone you could nominate as "The Most Interesting Man in the World", he would probably be the guy.
RIP, Sir Lee, and thank you.
Some people don't believe in fairies. I don't believe in The Patriarchy.
Considering what a bad ass he was during world war 2, I'll let him decide what is a proper job for a man.
She was like chocolate when she drank... semi-sweet at first and then increasingly bitter.
He was part of the SOE, behind enemy lines. Their exact activities are classified to this day. Because they were hunting down certain Nazis and killing them. So you must have very manly accomplishments yourself to make that pale in comparison, do tell

...Not a proper job for a man.
Whilst pissing on people online is manly?
Pathetic.
