Actors who “understood the assignment” and aced every film they did (35 Photos)
It seems like some actors just nail every part they’ve ever had, like Sir Christopher Lee.
True story: In a past life, I work as a production assistant on film sets, and my very first gig was a Hilary Swank movie called “The Resident”, which also featured Sir Christopher Lee. To this day, he is one of the kindest and coolest people I have ever had the fortune of meeting, inside or outside of showbiz. I will never forget answering the phone with the standard, “Production, this is Adam,” to which he responded, in his booming, dulcet tone: “Hello, Adam, it’s Christopher Lee.” He was Dracula, starred in Lord of the Rings and Star Wars, sang on a heavy metal album, and, after serving as a spy in WWII, was the inspiration for none other than James Bond (he was Sir Ian Fleming’s cousin). A true legend.
