What a bummer. He'll always be Scaramanga first to me. Although Saruman was probably the role he was born for; apparently Sir Christopher read LoTR every year and understood Quenya.

To me he's Kato in Astrid Lindgren's "Mio in the Land of Faraway"[1] (Min min Mio) from '87. It was also one of Christian Bale's first movies.

This guy was awesome. What a loss!

Besides being an awesome bad guy actor he especially gained my respect for dubbing all his roles in German himself. That means you could hear his impressive voice in both languages if you so desired (and I did).
