Christopher Lee is "the center of the Hollywood universe"

The Guiness World Records have officially announced that working 86 year old legendary actor is living "in the centre of the Hollywood universe". The University of Virginia have spent far too many hours mapping the working relationships between over a million actors and actresses and crowned Lee, the most connected living actor. So it should be the Six Degree's of Christopher Lee right? It should be no real surprise. Lee already holds the record for the most amount of on screen film appearances, amassing over 300 film and t.v. roles which is a tag he was labelled with in 2001 for a career that began in 1948. He is the only actor to have worked on the two legendary franchises of LORD OF THE RINGS and STAR WARS, alongside his great friend Peter Cushing he was the face of Hammer Horror and will be forever famous for his roles as DRACULA and as Scaramanga in Bond movie THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN. There's also his personal favourite movie THE WICKER MAN. He also just happened to be the cousin of Bond creator Ian Fleming. He is mega connected isn't he? The Guiness World Records also list Samuel L. Jackson as the highest earning actor after amassing $4 million from 68 movies, no doubt helped by his recent "whoring" himself out to anything for a paycheck. source - msn via - the one ring
