Title: With respect, Sir Christopher Lee has passed.
Post by: Tactalvanic on June 11, 2015, 01:22:10 PM
Sir Christopher Lee - has passed away at the grand age of 93.

Condolences and sadness apply in great measure.

Never sure whether to put or were to put sad stuff like this - but he was a war-gamer.

 :(

That's sad news. But he did live to a grand old age.

Was he definitely a wargamer? Peter Cushing was but I'd never heard Christopher Lee was . Happy to stand corrected.

Sad news. His memory lives on in all the many, many things inspired by his iconic film roles. Every time one of us lovingly does a project inspired by those films it'll be our small way of keeping that memory alive.

I don't believe it. A drop of blood and he'll be up and running again.

The grand Lord of Misrule has passed on. We shall not see his like again.
His cinematic legacy is as legendary as the many and varied characters he has portrayed. I reckon he has been an inspiration for a large proportion of the genres and periods on this site, from monsters to assassins, wizards, heroes and villains. It would be interesting to see how many characters we could come up with in each of the subjects...

RIP Sir Christopher.


If the wiki page is to be believed, his entire life was amazing.  Dracula, Scaramanga, Jinnah, Saruman, Dooku amongst other roles.  Service in the RAF with postings to SOE and LRDG.  Polyglot, and metal albums in his 90's.  Married a Danish model.  Simply amazing.


The world is much more dim now...

Another great man down.  :'( Sir Christopher will be sadly missed by all who over watched him on the silver screen.

Not too sad really... lived longer than I'm likely to, did it well... kept doing great work right up to the end. Congratulations on a life well-lived

Very sad news. What a wonderful life he must have had. A good innings too.

Hold your tongue! We're simple folk in these parts, and we want naught to do with your interfering in things best left alone.

And don't ask us about the garlic flowers over the windows, either. We're simple folk, you hear!

One of my favourite actors ever. His passing away makes me very sad. This was a shock because I expected him to be around... well, forever... like he has always been. But I could have seen it coming, my grandmother died last year at the same age.

The amazing thing about him is that he was one of the few actors who got better and better the older he got, which says something because he was pretty darn good in the first place. Most older actors seem to fall into tropes and become caricatures of themselves. He never did that.

He earned our respect already by volunteering to the Winter War.
