After being hospitalized for heart failure, the legendary actor known for his roles in Dracula, The Wicker Man, Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit, and the Star Wars prequels has passed at the age of 93.

Lee’s amazing movie career dazzled audiences for over 60 years which also included a heavy metal album released in 2010.

“Making films has never just been a job to me, it is my life. I have some interests outside of acting – I sing and I’ve written books, for instance – but acting is what keeps me going, it’s what I do, it gives life purpose.”- Christopher Lee 2013
