Dork Hero: Christopher Lee
For a long time, Christopher Lee existed as photos of various monsters (often Dracula) in creature books I’d pore over as a kid. Though I’m sure I saw him in a few things (Man with the Golden Gun?), it was with my delving into Peter Cushing’s filmography that I began to get into the venerable old gentleman’s work. You could write books on the man, about his various exploits and esoteric knowledge. He’s a Tolkien fan (maybe THE Tolkien fan). He’s former British Special Forces. And he speaks several languages. His voice is like the cracking of the Earth. And yes. He’s in a metal band…at 92.
Five Favorite Christopher Lee Movies:
5. Hannie Caulder
4. Hugo
3. Horror of Dracula
2. The Man with the Golden Gun
1. The Wicker Man
