I'd even go so far as to say one of the best actors ever ( well , maybe except for Alec Guiness ) . . . .
Wait a minute , that's Sir Alec Guiness to you !!!
He was knighted for his acting talent . . .
lol
The irony , since both Lee and Guiness played in the Star Wars saga . . . Although A LOT of time lay between their two roles . . .
. . even when you go by the Star Wars horology . . .
lol .
On a side note , I always wondered what maybe a mix between Vlad Tepes Dracul ( Count Dracula ) and Count Dooku might look like . . .
Imagine a lightsaber-swinging vampire . . . lol
I suppose Christopher would have managed that too . . .
Count Dookula , maybe ?
lol
Lee always played 'evil characters stemming from nobility' . .
See King Haggard , Dracula , Dooku etc . .
Actually I even wonder if the Star Wars makers came up with the character of 'Count Dooku' just to have a role fit for him . .
