10 Insane Facts You Didn't Know About Christopher Lee
6. He'd Appeared In More Films Than Any Other Living Actor
Along with scientifically proving him to be the centre of the universe, the Guinness Book of Records had it that Lee set the record for most screen credits of any living actor in 2007. At that point, Lee had starred in some 244 films and TV movies, but, considering he was a man who never stopped working, the number has only grown since then (itll be closer to 270 now). Lee had at least one film out every year since he made his debut in 1948, with the exceptions of 1995 and 2006, but you should probably let him off considering most people his age tend to opt for something called retirement, a word he had likely never come across. This mass of movies made Lee one of the most financially successful in history, with his films in total grossing $4.4 billion. For an extensive breakdown of Lees filmography, you can head over to his IMDb profile now to behold the sites actual longest page.
Lover of film, writer of words, pretentious beyond belief. Thinks Scorsese and Kubrick are the kings of cinema, but PT Anderson and David Fincher are the dashing young princes. Follow Brogan on twitter if you can take shameless self-promotion: @BroganMorris1
