joechristo
he is THE Christopher Lee and your argument is already dead.
zoltarpanaflex
He also played the a business headhunter/leader of gay motorcycle gang in Serial (1980) and was marvelous in it, just as you'd hope for
theKlois17
He was also a villain, Miguel, in one of the old Captain America movies.
ThorKonnat
So ..Superman have Christopher Lee at His Pyjama?
HushTheDragonSpeaks
The Elder God in the Legacy of Kain series
beezzarro
Finally one of these lists that omits "he was the inspiration for James bond"
tyrunn
Just need to clear up all the bullshit lies about his war time record next
OGBubbleGoose
RuijiRiku
damn you beat me off to it.
arthurvanhoudt
Just saw a reporter doing Ukraine report coming close!
drakkaris12718
This... This is MY hero.
BleachItsWhatsForDinner
Yeah, but does he have a Total Gym?
elbac
he fought russians in Finnish winter war
qtRaven
Shit no wonder the Russians lost. Goddamn Dracula, Death, Lucifer & a Sith Lord all on the Finnish side.
Praetorian349
As pyrrhic as the victory was, the Russians actually won that war. At massive cost. :P
SuicidalThrillbillyturnedLunaticChillbilly
Finnish Him!
NotAProfessor
Which is fucking insane. That landscape killed people so quickly.
tyrunn
Not him, the government posted him miles away from the front line, indoors. Then sent him home.
tyrunn
No he fucking didn't, he volunteered, they didn't let him near the front line and sent him home after a few weeks
elbac
Did too. Your mama was sent home after few weeks at the front line
tyrunn
Chaimgoldbergenstein
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BefliMlEzZ8 His voice was just perfect for things like audiobooks, too. Here he is reading Poe's The Raven.
DarthFluffyBottom
While the poem is all too familiar, holy shit that gave me goosebumps.
FutileHumility
. Listen later dot

indeed, he was, he was

He killed a grown swan with the queen
Spoopytoad
Now i'm just imaginibg him swinging the queen aroubs likexa lightsaber and dueling a swan..
PoggersM
In the animated Terry Pratchett stories, he is Death and is AMAZING!!!
ilyasInternetSmuggler
Chuck Norris &. Chrisopher Lee should not be in the same sentence.
Neednoggle
I mean, Chuck Norris is a shit person, so that's seeing the bar pretty low.
Neednoggle
*setting, dammit
Biscuity
wasnt he in the crowd of the last public use of the guillotine in france?
Bulignerol
This may be a controversial take but I greatly prefer the Metal Knight EP to his Charlemagne albums.
nihari
He was also Jinnah.
SadEyedLadyoftheLowlands
Saw a fun episode of the new Creepshow and Christopher Lee was in it via Horror Express clips. What a legend! RIP hombre
waudey912
Well chuck is still alive so...
tyrunn
His was time record is mostly made-up/exaggerated, there's literally no proof or reason to believe he did anything but clerical work.
TinyAngryDog
Or he was an actor who told a bunch of a unproveable lies.
IvorJBiggun
Yeah his Wikipedia page notes some serious inconsistencies about the stories he told of his wartime service
tyrunn
He's a huge fantasist when it comes to his war record, be no doubt he volunteered for things like the winter war, but he was sent home
tyrunn
Before coming even close to action, he was to be an audience pilot, bit was medically unable. He rode out most of the war doing intelligence
tyrunn
behind a desk. That's not shameful, bit clearly wasn't enough for him so he played the wink wink game of "I couldn't possibly say"
Ploty
And he was the only person from the cast to have met Tolkien himself
BESTtaylorINAUSTRALIA
Chuck Norris once threw a Grenade into a room killing 20 people, than the Grenade exploded
ItsDandySpaceDandy
No no, he was not only Scaramanga but the actual inspiration for Bond himself. Ian Fleming admitted as such.
Dragonofthewest718
Watched Man with a Golden Gun tonight. Excellent villain
ItsDandySpaceDandy
Oh fuck yeah.
beezzarro
What? No he didn't. Ian Fleming has, over the course of his life given a long list of inspirations for bond. None of which are Lee
ItsDandySpaceDandy
Google says Ian Fleming named him as an inspiration. Not that I believe everything I read on the webs, but give it a Google.
thewax00
The actual inspirations for James Bond was a British Airforce pilot and a few naval officers Fleming knew.
beezzarro
I have. Did you check the Wikipedia page for "inspirations for James bond"?
AlwaysTrustTheManInABigWhiteVan
This Ian guy probably just saw all the 007 movies and copied those
Housemaster
He's also the only cast member in the LotR films to have actually met Tolkien
HarrisonTheViking
And was requested to play his character by Tolkien
ILikeSmellingMyOwnFarts
He was to play Gandalf according to Tolkien
HarrisonTheViking
Oh sorry I got confused
obarey
No, that's an urban legend. Lee was pretty young when they met, and he wanted to play Gandalf, Tolkien probably said "sure thing kid" or sth
ScienceIsNotALiberalConspiracy
Chuck Norris is a christian fundy shitbag. Please don't compare Sir Christopher Lee to such filth.
TH3S33KER
Christian fundy shitbag?
AVaguelyFamiliarUsername
From all I remember he is a christian fundamentalist that wants the bible to be taught in history classes, anti abortion...you know, insane
TH3S33KER
Yikes
Ilikechicken74
Chuck Norris was the middle weight Karate champion of the world 6 times.
Quessir
Shame he's such a wanker.
Ilikechicken74
True but the dude was once an actual badass
Belthuzar0
So was Al Capone in his day. Everyone who didn't directly benefit from him regarded him as a right bastard and even then.
