A few years back he did a narration for radio broadcasts of old mystery shows and his voice was perfect for the part. Such a great voice and he seemed a true gentleman, RIP Sir Lee.

There is an art to playing a villain-—more than a cartoon but more than just a man. Lee that that skill (most Brits do). He entertained the world Horror lost another great one.

I still remember the ending scene of The Wicker Man.

Edward Woodward screaming in agony, and Lee singing a song to welcome in Spring.
