Actor Sir Christopher Lee, who has appeared in hundreds of movies, has passed away at 93.

You may remember Sir Christopher Lee in movies as The Lord Of The Rings, Star Wars, The Hobbit. That is a very short list of some of his resume.

Sir Christopher Lee also released a metal album in 2014 entitled "Darkest Carols, Faithful Sing." And yes, it really is a metal album.

I always enjoyed not only watching his films, but the fact that he always was into something really cool. I mean, who puts out a metal album when they're in their early 90s?

Here's to Sir Christopher Lee, legendary actor and maker of metal -- we throw our metal horns up for you!
