12. He was almost Magneto as well. Basically, the only major franchise Lee didn’t have some role in seems to be comic books, but he was almost there, too. During the casting for the X-Men films, he was seriously considered for the role of Magneto. As with Gandalf, Lee ceded that part to the younger Ian McKellen, who obviously did quite well with both roles.

Wow..just wow.
I liked McKellen's performance, but I always thought Lee would have been the best Magneto possible...I never knew they really considered him for this role.

For those who didn't know, during WW2 Mr. Lee was a JEDBURGH agent.

This involved being airdropped into German-occupied Europe (not always France) and hooking up with the local resistance groups, if any. If no resistance groups existed, it was their job to create some.

Hilarity would then ensue.

Not much of a surprise that after the war, Lee went into acting....he already had passed the audition, so to speak.

As a former military intel type myself, the vast majority of us in Da Biz had tremendous respect for the man.

The fact he was Dracula was icing on the cake...:)

Basically, he was the real James Bond.

He must have found it ironic when he got to be in a Bond movie later on......

Everything in EVE is a trap.

And if it isn't, it's your job to make it a trap...:)

Chribba is the Chuck Norris of EVE.
