Christopher Lee (RIP)
I know that he was very old, but I kind of figured he'd be around for
a few more years. This man was a legend in Hollywood. He's worked
with so many directors and actors that I don't anyone else comes
close. He was the king of the character actors.
I remember him from that James Bond film and all those Tim Burton
movies. He almost always played a bad guy. Fondly, I remember him
from The Lord of the Rings movies and the Star Wars prequels. He was
a great villain in both of those franchises. And, Saruman
and Count
Dooku were very similar characters. I found that to be amusing.
He played Ansem the Wise in two Kingdom Hearts games. And, he was in
the original The Wicker Man, aka
the only good one.
I also remember hearing that he was upset that he got cut out of
Return of the King and he was cheated of his onscreen death. They
restored his scene in the extended cut, and I love its addition.
Anyway, it is sad to see this legend go, but he has a huge body of
work to be proud of though. RIP, Saruman.
