Sir Christopher Lee has died at age 93. While he's most recently known for playing Saurumon in the Lord of the Rings, he was a prolific actor who also starred (along with the late Peter Cushing) in classic Hammer Horror Films. I grew up watching those. They were a bit campy, with things like the "Fear Flasher" and "Horror Horn" warning viewers about impending scary stuff. In all, Lee was in 20 Hammer Films.
In fact, Lee was in more than 200 movies, acted on T,V and even did voice-acting on video games including the Lego Lord of the Rings and Hobbit games as Saruman.
Also passing away was 91 year old Ron Moody, another British actor. He's best known for his role as Fagin in the 1968 musical Oliver.
RIP both of you.
