Ave atque vale, Sir Christopher

Let's raise a glass to:

Lord Summerisle
The Comte de Rochefort
Saruman
Dracula
The Man with the Golden Gun

and many many others...

A man who had met Tolkien, re-read the Lord of the Rings every year, and told Peter Jackson exactly what sort of noise someone makes when you stab them from behind...

Actor. Warrior. And totally metal.

Hail to the traveler!

Hail and farewell!

A legend among men. So glad he stuck around for such a rich, full life.

He was quite the fellow, indeed.

Really, was there anything he couldn't do?
