"Stories vary as to why Lee did not feature in the 1960 sequel The Brides of Dracula. Some[who?] state that Hammer was unwilling to pay Lee his current fee, but most[who?] tend to believe that he simply did not wish to be typecast. Lee did, however, return to the role in Hammer's Dracula: Prince of Darkness in 1965. Lee's performance is notable in that he has no lines, merely hissing his way through the film. Again, stories vary as to the reason for this: Lee states he refused to speak the poor dialogue he was given, but screenwriter Jimmy Sangster claims that the script did not contain any lines for the character. This film set the standard for most of the Dracula sequels in the sense that half the film's running time was spent on telling the story of Dracula's resurrection and the character's appearances were brief. Lee has gone on record to state that he was virtually "blackmailed" by Hammer into starring in the subsequent films; unable or unwilling to pay him his going rate, they would resort to reminding him of how many people he would put out of work if he did not take part." - there are a load of BLP violations here, accusations of unprofessional behaviour really should be cited or removed.

Christopher Lee has done quite a bit of voice acting for rhapsody of fire on a couple of their albums, but I don't see any info about that. Can someone who isn't as noob at wiki as me add it in?

He has acted in 266 movies but others have acted in more. For example, the tamil actress Manorama has acted in more than 1500 of them. Therefore, it could be edited to read "in Hollywood" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.193.4.15 (talk) 13:59, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Is the same Christopher Lee?
I notice there is a Christoper Lee who is cast in Scorcese's Hugo. Is this the same actor? If so, this role he plays is not included in his Biography or his filmography. Pjt48 (talk) 13:58, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
