jackofallgeeksInteresting...
Rachel noted the Sauron references in the Star Wars Breadbox Edition, and I told her that I didn't realize it was the same actor (Dooku and Saruman) until I'd read that (ye-ah, I'm dense). Then I asked her who he was, cause he seemed familiar, and when she said it was Christopher Lee, I KNEW I knew the name. She gave me a site to search on, and I found this out:
Christopher Lee was born in England durring 1922, making him about 81 right now. He had an older sister, Xandra, and enlisted in WWII. He's been an actor since 1947, apparently doing mostly Horror films, oddly enough (Grins). He's been in a couple Bond Flicks and several Three Musketeer Movies. He also did a great number of 'foreign' flicks in German and French and the like. In addition to being Dooku in Star Wars and Saruman in LotR, he was 'The Burgomeister' in Sleepy Hollow (never saw that one), 'Evil Sender' in The Stupids, 'Dr. Catheter' in Gremlins 2 but the kicker -- he was the voice of King Haggard in The Last Unicorn w00+
I suppose it comes as no surprise that he seems set as the villain in most of his parts.
