A true legend has passed away. Sir Christopher Lee has died at the age of 93, according to a report from The Telegraph. He reportedly died at 8.30am on Sunday at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital after he suffered respiratory problems and heart failure.

His career has spanned eight decades, taking him from cult TV to mega blockbusters like Lord of the Rings and Star Wars.


Here's an iconic scene everyone will remember from the Lord of the Rings:

And here's proof of how accomplished an actor he is, acting out his final scene in The Hobbit, entirely out of imagination.

He may be remembered in this era for playing Saruman and Count Dooku, but he's also a lot more than that.

RIP, Sir Christopher Lee.
