Christopher Lee - IMDb

Legendary actor Sir Christopher Lee has passed away after suffering heart and respiratory problems, The Telegraph has reported.
With over 281 credits to his name on IMDB, Sir Christopher Lee was nothing short of prolific. Most known for his role as Dracula, the prolific actor cemented his spot in the world of entertainment in other memorable movies that we’ve come to revere like Lord of the Rings and Star Wars.
Not only was Lee a star on the screen, but also behind it. His unmistakable voice was a driving force behind movies like Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride, and numerous video games.
He is survived by his wife Birgit Kroencke Lee and daughter Christina Erika Lee.​

Watching him in the old horror movies when I was a kid was a joy. Later in life he was in movies like The Man With The Golden Gun with James Bond. More recent works like his turn in the Star Wars movies and Lord of the Rings means that I've been watching him in movies my entire life.
