[Death Metalist]

R.I.P, What a legend and lived such a great life. He will be missed, especially his voice.

 

[Shard]

Well, shit.

 

[Funky Papa]

I'm saddened, but I shouldn't. His was a life well lived.

Farewell.

Sad, sad news.

[CheesecakeRecipe]

I refuse to believe.

He was one of the eternal.

:c

RIP

 

[trOOly]

Out of no where....

He was 93, though. At this age, it's hardly "out of nowhere". It's quite sad, anyway.

 

[Zelias]

I honestly thought the guy would live forever. He still did metal albums for chrissakes.

A true legend. RIP.

 

[derFeef]

Big legend. Big loss.
RIP

[Forkball]

Damn... I thought for sure I'd die before him. It's amazing how long his career spanned and the multitude of memorable roles he had. He's being metal in heaven now.

 

[diggmcbadass]

Guy had a career spanning 8 decades. That's pretty crazy.

[Gormless Noodle]

Is this true or not? I'm confused.

 

[Aselith]

Horrible You can't say he didn't live a full life though.

 

[StayDead]

[HariKari]

That was a stuntman.

He did a lot of his own stunts.

Lee also belongs to three stuntman unions, does all of his own stunts, once busted his face smashing head-first through an actual plate glass window for a scene, injured himself falling into an open grave while portraying Dracula, and once had his hand slashed open during a drunken sword fight with Errol Flynn.

Oh, and while we're on the subject of swordfights, Lee has appeared in more on-screen sword duels than any other actor ever. A masterful fencer, he's been in everything from cutlass fights on the decks of waterlogged pirate ships to rapier duels in seventeenth-century France to taking on a couple guys one-third of his age with a lightsabers and a fistful of force lightning on the deck of whatever the fuck they called Imperial Star Destroyers in the prequel movies.

Was a world champion fencer at one point.

 

[Agent Gibbs]

According the the OP her wife delayed the announcement until they had informed his family and closest friends. His rep's denial dates from yesterday.

 

[Ridley327]

RIP

There were other Draculas, but he was always the one and only Dracula for me.

 

[maniac-kun]
