They missed one. As Wikipedia mentioned, Lee volunteered to fight for Finland during the 1939 Finnish-Soviet “Winter War.”

Amazing! RIP, Sir Christopher Lee.
To: EveningStar
I am extremely sad about his passing.
The world seems a little darker for his absence.
He was part of my youth and it’s almost like losing a family member.

I find it incredible that one man can pack that much life into a short 93 years...RIP, Mr. Lee.

It’s no wonder he made such a good Dracula and Saruman, he probably found the roles therapeutic.

“15) Lee was a major Tolkien fan, reading The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings trilogy once a year for the majority of his life. He was the only member of the movie cast to have met Tolkien personally — apparently he ran into him randomly in a pub — and fanboyed out. Tolkien actually gave him his blessing to play Gandalf in any future Lord of the Rings movie.”
“17) The story has gone around a lot, but it bears repeating because it is incredible: During his death scene in Return of the King (only included in the Extended Edition to Lee’s disapproval), director Peter Jackson was describing to him what sound people getting stabbed in the back should make. Lee gravely responded that he had seen people being stabbed in the back, and knew exactly what sound they made.”
I would have loved to see him play Gandalf.

I am sick to death of internet clowns describing their posts as “incredible”, “amazing” or “unbelievable”.
