Description
I grew up on old horror movies, especially the ones from UNIVERSAL and HAMMER.When it came to UNIVERSAL my favorite actor was Boris Karloff who was and always will be the best portrayer of the Frankenstein Monster.
And when it came to HAMMER it was Christopher Lee who ( apart from Max Schreck...and Gary Oldman who wasn't too bad either ) was and ( to me ) will always be the #1 portrayer of Count Dracula.
Sorry all Lugosi fans but Lee was just way cooler.
Appart from Dracula he also played the Frankenstein monster, the Mummy, the Devil, Francisco Scaramanga and in later time Saruman from LOTR, Count Dooku from Star Wars and the Jabberwocky from Alice in Wonderland.
Funny that a guy who made a living playing villains could become a hero to so many.
So it was a bummer when I heard that he had passed away. But hey he lived a pretty amazing life, didn't he?
I mean he was a soldier durin WW2, he played Dracula, met Tolkien and later played Saruman and played in metal bands that sang songs about Charlemange who just happened to be his ancestor. Judging from that it sounds pretty much that it wasn't a life waisted.
So goodnight Sir Chistopher Lee. Thank you for playing such a big role in my childhood.
You where an enormous inspiration for me and so many others and like Count Dracula you will for us who loved you forever be IMMORTAL!
And what better way to end this tribute than with a song from the man himself www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiebU3…

Sir Christopher Lee was one of the best people to play as Dracula. Plus he had a pretty good list of roles of bad guys that he had on his resume(like being a villian in James Bond, being one of the bad guys in Star Wars, and being Saurman). Bonus points for Lee since he was one of the actors that the author of Lord of the rings wanted to play a part in Lord of the rings when he was alive. Somewhere, Sir Christopher Lee is enjoying a good glass of the finest wine in the afterlife with his good friend Vincent Price.
This is a well done tribute to the late actor.

Honestly, I didn't see a whole lot of films starring (I do recall seeing him in GREMLINS 2 and of course the LOTR movies), but it was still shocking to see this happen. At least we can say he lived a long healthy life and had a prosperous career that will stand the test of time. Great painting as usual!

I've always meant to delve deeper into Lee's filmography after being hypnotized by the deep, booming voice of Saruman. For as tragic as his passing was he nevertheless had an amazing life and filmography to back it up - the guy recorded a heavy metal version of The Little Drummer Boy in his 90s, for crying out loud. An amazing tribute to an amazing talent, my friend.

Thanks! Hey that would mean that I might meet him after all. Don't know if i would survive that encounter or if he would drink my blood and perhaps turn me into a braindead ghoul but if that happened i would be honored.
