\"3-hobbit_saruman\"<\/a>As many of you already know, there is sad news in our community of fans today: Sir Christopher Lee passed away Sunday morning at the age of 93 due to respiratory problems and heart failure. Of course, we all came to know and love him for his role as the evil wizard, Saruman, in Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings and Hobbit movies, a role that came at the end of a long, and very distinguished career as an actor in horror movies and other dramas. For many of us, it’s difficult to picture a better Count Dracula than Christopher Lee. But, for many more of us, it’s impossible to think of anyone else playing the role of Saruman. All of the professionalism, passion and dedication of his long career shone out in that role, making it perfection.<\/p>\n

From the U.K. telegraph website, here is a nice obituary<\/a>, and a short video of his career highlights<\/a>. N\u00e1mari\u00eb, Sir Christopher. You are dearly loved and will be dearly missed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
