THE KID GETS AROUND
I was talking to a friend probably about the new Star Wars flick and got on the subject of Christopher Lee. I started to realize just how big a slice across geek pop culture this actor cut. Feel free to run over to IMDB but I will give you the highlights. He is probably best known for his Hammer Dracula roles. But did you know he has appeared as both the Frankenstein's Monster and the Mummy? He played Sherlock Holmes as well as Mycroft and Henry Baskervilles. Rumplestilskin, Saruman and Count Dooku (or if you prefer Darth Tyranus). Let's not forget Fu Manchu or the man with the golden gun.
He has the dubious privilege of being slightly wounded by a drunk Errol Flynn in a sword fight for the Dark Avenger. Step cousin to Ian Fleming and was the only member of the production or cast to have actually known J.R.R. Tolkien. He is even on the cover of Wings' Band on the Run.
