The man knew how to play a villain, Count Dracula, Count Dooku and Saruman, and who could forget his role in "The Man with the Golden Gun."

Christopher Lee was such a classic actor, and what I liked about him the most was that he would show up in movies that you would not expect to see him in. Like "Gremlins 2" when he played the Scientist that worked for that weird company, although it was a minor silly role Christopher Lee owned it.

It was always a pleasure seeing him on screen, he possessed such a strong presence that earned him the villainous roles he played. Whenever you hear his voice you know that it is him, because it was such a deep, clear, brooding voice that gave you chills and let you know that this was "the bad guy."

The Bad Guy in a good way, because he did it so well he made it seem as if he were not even trying.

Christopher Lee was a one of a kind actor, who will always be admired and never be forgotten.
