R.I.P Sir Christopher Lee

[CobraKaiEnTai]

Truly one of the greats, what an incredible career he had spanning multiple decades. Film will definitely miss his presence.

Christopher Lee was my favourite actor. He was one of my favourite people.

My life was shaped by his work.

He played Dracula, he played Frankenstein's Monster, he was in Star Wars, he was in Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit, he was in Gormenghast, he played Sherlock Holmes (and Mycroft Holmes and Lord Baskerville), he played Discworld's Death, and so on and so forth. Any other actor could have dined out for their career on any one of his roles and he never did. He was exceptional.

His acting career alone will never be equalled - his life before, during and beyond that will never, ever be matched. I could tell Christopher Lee stories all night - he is my hero - but I'll say but one. It's not the funniest, the wittiest or even the most prescient...but, when Pope John Paul II met Christopher Lee for the first time, all the Pope wanted to talk about was Christopher Leee's family. That's how important he was.

This is so awesome!

He was wonderful. No other way to put it. Rest in peace - 93 is a damn fine innings too.
