Poll: Christopher Lee - What Could Have Been
Christopher Lee was a highly prolific actor, with 278 roles credited on IMDb; he especially excelled at giving his version of larger-than-life characters in epic franchises. These figures were often already well-known because of their literary source or other actors who had played them, but Lee would take possession of them.
