    Oh no! Amazing actor and career! What a voice he had. Will never forget The Wicker Man and the Hammer years. RIP Christopher Lee.

    Can't believe he was as old as 93. Wickerman is one of my favourite films.

    I can't be the only one more shocked that he has just died, I thought he passed years ago

    RIP grew up watching the Hammer films (on tv (repeated as I am not that old)) and even thought he was amazing as Saraman in the Lord of the Rings films.

    Along with his acting he was also a metal singer, and former long range desert patrol, what later became what we know as the SAS. Man was an absolute badass. I was lucky enough to intern for 42mp who represented him, I'm sure it's a sad day there today. Great innings and lived an amazing full life. RIP

    he'll be back out when it gets dark, unless of course, it was a stake through the heart.

    James Last, Ron Moody and now Christopher Lee, all in a couple of days.

    RIP all of you.

    RIP. Truly a legend. 93 is one hell of a good age but a shame nonetheless.

    Wasn't it him that used to sneak into cinemas showing Hammer films, to make the audiences jump?

    It was good seeing him doing back flips in the latest Hobbit film. :smile:

    In my opinion he played the best Bond villain, and he's up against some great actors for that accolade. A brilliant actor and one which will be sorely missed.

    The word gets used to easily these days but not for Christopher Lee as he was a true legend.

    Such a shame, I met him when he signed his autobiography for my wife, nice gentle guy. RIP.
