Sir Christopher Lee, the veteran actor and star of many of the world's biggest film franchises, has died aged 93.

Many of you may not know, but Mr. Lee volunteered to fight alongside the Finnish when World War II broke out. In Lee's first film, The Curse of Frankenstein, he played Frankenstein's monster and met his close friend, Peter Cushing. Needless to say, this was the start of an amazing career and wonderful movies delivered to us by Mr. Lee and friends.

Some notable films that Mr. Lee has been apart of is Lord of The Rings trilogy. He played Saruman. He also starred as Count Dooku in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.

In the gaming industry, he has shared his voice for the Lord of the Rings games, Freelancer, Kingdom Hearts, and the Everquest series.

Sadly, Mr. Lee has passed away on Sunday morning and eGO wishes to give our sincerest condolences to his family, friends, and loved ones. Please join us in honoring Mr. Lee with a final farewell as he has delivered us entertainment time and time again.

Mr. Lee, you may be gone, but you'll never be forgotten. You are a legend forever and you will be missed. Rest in peace friend.</div>​

/knew today felt off when I woke up
 
Lee was among my favorite actors to grace the silver screen. His movies during the reign of Hammer horror still beat any "horror" film made today and rank among Clockwork Orange and Apocalypse Now as my favorite movies. Plus, he was truly outstanding in the Finnish military and was a true hero. May your soul forever rest in peace.
 
R.I.P., thank you for all you've done Christopher Lee, you're truly an amazing person!
 
A truly inspirational legend. His acting capabilities are almost beyond words, with a resounding voice that reverberates through your inner core, you will be deeply missed.

R.I.P Sir Christopher Lee.
 
RIP

Some fun facts about the late mr. Lee:

'As Darth Tyranus, he plays the first Sith apprentice to act in both body and voice.'

'Shot all his scenes for Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith in one day.'

(Yes i like star wars xD)
 
R.I.P. indeed but I will mention you forgot that he was Willy Wonka's dad in The newer Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
 
Yes I know him well. I grew up with all of his monster movies. LOL. I have many vintage thrillers with him in them. Another great thriller actor passing over to the other side.
