Besides being an awesome bad guy actor he especially gained my respect for dubbing all his roles in German himself. That means you could hear his impressive voice in both languages if you so desired (and I did).
What a bummer. He'll always be Scaramanga first to me. Although Saruman was probably the role he was born for; apparently Sir Christopher read LoTR every year and understood Quenya.

He was a huge Metal fan. He even worked with Rhapsody of Fire.[1] Hell, he even had his own band![2]
This voice. This voice!

Sad to hear it. Anyone who's interested in his life should check out his autobiography -- it's a fun read.
Big loss, but we were lucky to have him around this long, and sharp as ever util the end!
No Count Dokku ! this is a huge loss.

To me he's Kato in Astrid Lindgren's "Mio in the Land of Faraway"[1] (Min min Mio) from '87. It was also one of Christian Bale's first movies.
