RIP Christopher Lee: His 10 Most Awesome Roles

Added: 12.06.2015 0:17 | 12 views | 0 comments

Count Dooku in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

Christopher Lee leaves us a legacy of incredibly convincing and unforgettable villains. No matter how you feel about the Star Wars prequels, there's absolutely no denying the power of Christopher Lee as the corrupt Jedi Master Count Dooku. (Photo: 20th Century Fox)

Saruman in The Lord of The Rings Trilogy

Christopher Lee perfected the portrayal of very human characters who found themselves trapped by their lust for power. Saruman the White's fall from grace wouldn't be the same without Lee's complete conviction. (Photo: New Line Cinema)

Francisco Scaramanga in The Man With the Golden Gun

A KGB assassin who's committed to a fair fight? Roger Moore has his work cut out for him in his battle against the ultra creepy Francisco, one of the most memorable villains in the Bond series. (Photo: United Artists)

Ansem the Wise in Kingdom Hearts II

Square Enix knew exactly who to cast when they needed a noble king who gets exiled to the Realm of Darkness. A once-great man driven by vengeance is a role Christopher Lee was destined to perfect. (Photo: Square Enix)

Dracula in Dracula: Prince of Darkness

Move over, Bela Lugosi. When Christopher Lee first donned Dracula's cape for a series of Hammer Films resurrections, his face became synonymous with the vivacious vampire. (Photo: 20th Century Fox)

Dr. Catheter in Gremlins 2: The New Batch

Gremlins 2 is certainly campier than its predecessor, but it's a perfect match for Christopher Lee as a deviously mischievous scientist overseeing an out-of-control corporate laboratory. (Photo: Warner Bros.)

Lord Summerisle in The Wicker Man (1973)

Let's pretend the bee-filled bummer of a remake starring Nicholas Cage never happened. For fans, the real Wicker Man will always be the original 1973 version with Christopher Lee leading an angry mob of occult villagers. (Photo: British Lion Films)

Dr. Wilbur Wonka in Charlie And The Chocolate Factory

Throughout most of Tim Burton's bizarre take on the classic children's book, audiences are left to wonder where Johnny Depp's outlandish Wonka could have come from. When we finally learn of his deranged dentist dad, played by Lee, it all starts to make sense. (Photo: Warner Bros.)

Overlord Lucan D'Lere in EverQuest II

Lucan may be the overlord of a levitating fortress in this classic MMO, but he's also a fallen paladin bound by an ancient curse. Who else could play him besides Christopher Lee? (Photo: Daybreak Game Company)

Pastor Galswells in The Corpse Bride

When you need a ghastly priest to preside over an arranged Victorian marriage, Christopher Lee is your man. His stirring voice talents add an indelible spark to Tim Burton's classic stop-motion film. (Photo: Warner Bros.)
