Randomly ran across this excellent summary in an old Mingles with Jingles video from before Sir Christopher died.

Now, Chuck Norris is pretty badass. I mean, he's got the same birthday as me, so he must be awesome. But, um... let me tell you a few things about Sir Christopher Lee.

He was Dracula.

He was a Bond villain. He helped Ian Fleming write James Bond.

He volunteered to fight for Finland in the Winter War with Russia.

He was Sherlock Holmes and he was Mycroft Holmes.

He was Death. He was Lucifer. He was Count Dooku. He was Saruman. He was Lord Summerisle. He recorded a heavy metal concept album about Charlemagne.

He hunted Nazis for a living during World War II. He was part of a secret agent unit called the Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. When he was told by Peter Jackson to imagine how a man being stabbed in the back sounds? He quite calmly turned around and told him, "Don't have to imagine it, old boy."

He's fluent in English, Italian, French, German, and Spanish. He's moderately proficient in Swedish, Russian, and Greek. And he's merely conversational in Mandarin Chinese.

He's ninety years old. When Sir Christopher Lee dies? We might consider allowing Chuck Norris to play him in a biopic of his life. You know - if he asks nicely.
