Little known fact.

Christopher Lee traveled to Finland to volunteer to fight with the Finns against the Soviet Union during the Winter War.

90 years old and still working!

I can't recall any movies where Christopher Lee played a good guy either!

He was the bookseller guy who gives Hugo a copy of Robin Hood that he had been planning to give to his nephew.
