I am still astonished that he was still the frontman for a heavy metal band.

That was my first experience with him too. When I met Peter S Beagle this year and he talked about the upcoming live movie, I couldn't help but feel a little sad. I figured Mr. Lee wouldn't get to be in it.Nooooooooo!
He's been on my radar since I was a little kid and he was King Haggard in The Last Unicorn. That distinctive bass rumble was as much his signature as his acting. 93 (and still working!) is a full life lived, but I will definitely miss his presence on screen.
He had an amazing life. So many great roles and so many great experiences. Rest well, sir.

-Christopher Lee, probably.
I saw and heard him live reading from the Lord of the Rings accompanying the Tolkien Ensemble back in 2008 (had to look that up, how time goes by...).
He was tired because there was a traffic jam on the way to the theatre, but he took the time to for a group picture, as promised, with us extras after the show. A really impressive figure. Tall and stern, and he also managed a nod and a "Thank you" as he turned to leave. What a voice, I'll treasure that moment forever.

I hope I can make it to 93 and be as active and clear-minded. Those are some good genes.
He would have grown up with the new invention of sound in film, and then seen all the amazing changes in film.
He has done so many films; what a prolific career.

Usually I'd be really sad, thinking "too soon" etc etc, and I am sad that he's gone.
But this man had what sounds like an amazing adventure of a life, and at 93 I think he's earned that rest.

But how is that career?
This is bullshit; he was supposed to be an actual vampire. Maybe this is a cover-up ...
But if not, I'm glad for the memories. He led an amazing life, and shared a little of it with us through his talent. My first experience was Gremlins 2, his 200th movie, and even that was 20+ years ago. No idea what the count was by now.

I think the problem is someone keeps letting Stan Lee siphon life from aging stars in order to fuel his Immortality Machine.
Yeah I can't imagine he died with too many regrets.
My first experience with him were animated and kids movies even though I didn't know his name at the time. He was the evil king Kato in the movie Mio in the land of Faraway. Sadly the fight with him is a little disappointing
(Skip to 9:20 to see more of him and the fight but be aware that you will see the end of the movie too. And a little bit of trivia, Mios friend is played by Christian Bale.)
He was also King Haggard in the german version of the last unicorn.
And he was Thor and Odin in the german dub of the danish animated movie Valhalla.
