Believe it or not, British actor Sir Christopher Lee celebrated his 90th birthday yesterday. He has portrayed Dracula, Sherlock Holmes, Fu Manchu, Rasputin, kings, cardinals, a Bond villain, a Sith Lord, and a Tolkien wizard, among many other varied roles. In fact, he holds the Guinness World Record for the most acting credits ever! Lee has 276 titles in his IMDb filmography, including some that are still filming. Yes, he is still working at age 90, and will appear as Saruman in the two Hobbit films now in production. He is also a singer, and marked his birthday by releasing a heavy metal song, "Let legend mark me as the King." Link -via reddit

I remember him as Dracula when I used to watch his movie as a kid in the 80s. Even then his movie was already very dated and I thought he was dead or nearly so. So imagine my surprise to see him in LoTR. Kudos to the man!

We kids used to go downtown San Jose and watch his movies whan I was about 12. Great technicolor pictures, really campy and bloody!
