Sir Christopher Lee is 90 in May
Discussion
And he has just starred in the new Burton film. He is playing Saruman in the Hobbit at the moment and last year recorded an album with a 'symphonic metal' band! Not to my taste, but blimey, the man has done an amazing amount of work!

Long may he live.

A truly remarkable and dedicated actor.
Outlasted all his contemporaries which must be a challenge in itself.
The sheer grinding output of the man is breathtaking.
He is obviously a seriously determined and dedicated professional.
Given the stature (6'4"), the bearing and the looks he was always bound for success in acting.
But the extent of the success and the years and years and years of dedication to his profession mark him out as a stunning force.

One of my faveoutites.
A giant in many ways.
He is Death. He is Dracula. He is on of the best Bond villains.
He is an avid Tolkien fan and reads LOTR once a year. He was an adequate Sauruman (not his fault), I felt a little let down for him in those b
dized films because they were so pathetic. But I guess he just jumped at the chance to be in them at any angle. Shame.
Would have loved him to be in Star Wars, or Empire, another shame he had to pop up in the inferior sequels.
One of my top Lee moments, watch!!!!

Been in more films that any other actor apparently
274 according to imdb
I'll get this in before my PH-er father comes along and tells it. IIRC in an interview once, he described a gushing fan coming up to him and saying "Oh Mr Lee, I've seen all your films" and he replied "Oh no you haven't..."274 according to imdb
I think he's a superb actor, and proof once again that in the acting game one of the keys to success is being prolific.
I'm told his movie about the life of Jinnah is superb. Must've taken some courage casting a brit for that.
Symphonic heavy metal album though...
