Biografie
Legendary actor Sir CHRISTOPHER LEE was starred in anticipated big-screen treatment of the classic J.R.R. Tolkein novel, The Hobbit, for director Peter Jackson, for whom he also starred in all three Lord of the Rings films. He reprised his role from Rings, that of the powerful Sarumen.
Some of Lee‘s motion picture work includes roles in a diverse array of films, including Season of the Witch, opposite Nicolas Cage; Hammer Films‘ The Resident, with Hilary Swank and Jeffrey Dean Morgan; John Landis‘ comedy Burke and Hare; Tim Burton‘s hit version of Alice in Wonderland‖ (as the voice of the Jabberwocky); the crime thriller The Heavy; Robin Hardy‘s re-telling of the classic thriller, The Wicker Tree; the ensemble British mystery, Stephen Poliakoff‘s Glorious 39; the dramatic war mystery Triage, starring Colin Farrell; and Duncan Ward‘s comedy Boogie Woogie.
Lee also starred in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory; The Lord of the Rings trilogy from New Line Cinema; and Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones and Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith from LucasFilm. Prior to his roles in these blockbusters, Lee starred in the critically acclaimed independent picture Jinnah, and the epic BBC miniseries Gormenghast. He was also seen in Crimson Rivers II with Jean Reno, as well as Tim Burton‘s Sleepy Hollow and Corpse Bride. In 2007 he appeared in The Colour of Magic by Terry Pratchett (as the voice of Death) and The Golden Compass.
The directors for whom Lee has worked include John Huston, Raoul Walsh, Joseph Losey, George Marshall, Orson Welles, Nicholas Ray, Michael Powell, Edward Molinaro, Jerome Savary, Billy Wilder, Steven Spielberg, Joe Dante, Peter Jackson, Tim Burton, John Landis, Alejandro Jodorowsky and Andrei Konchalovsky. Lee has appeared in more than 250 film and television productions, amongst which the best known are A Tale of Two Cities, Dracula, The Mummy, The Wicker Man, The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, The Three Musketeers, The Four Musketeers, The Man with the Golden Gun (of which the author was his cousin, Ian Fleming), 1941, Airport ̳77 and Gremlins II. He considers the most important point in his career to have been as host of Saturday Night Live in 1978, with John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Gilda Radner, Laraine Newman and Jane Curtin. It is still the third highest-rated show of the series.
Lee has received awards for his contribution to the cinema from the United States, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and Great Britain. He is a Commander Brother of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, the world‘s oldest order. In 2001 he was made commander of the order of the British Empire, and in 2009, was awarded a Knighthood in the Queen‘s honors list.
