I met Sir Christopher Lee on the concourse of London Waterloo station back in 1987. I was a train guard for BR/NSE at the time and he approached me and asked if I knew which platform the next train for Shepperton would be going from. He’d just missed one so I explained and said we’d have to keep an eye on the departure board. Only 30 seconds before he came to me I’d been listening to my Sony Walkman. After explaining about the Shepperton services, he said: “I notice you were listening to music on that gadget, there. Anything good?” I told him I had been listening to Iron Maiden “Live After Death”, to which he replied: “A very fine recording and one of Iron Maiden’s best I must say.” I stood there aghast, truly. Cutting the story short he told me that he’d had a soft spot for heavy rock and metal for years and that he’d love to make his own heavy metal record one day. And do you know what, he did; a couple in fact. All about Charlemagne. Bloody good as well. We talked about music in general for a while and I discovered he loved classical and opera. He also commented on my Yorkshire accent and asked why was I down in London. I told him I’d always wanted to work on the railway and at the time the majority of jobs were in the south. “You moved down here with family?” ‘No on my own’, I explained. “Any friends?” ‘Not before I moved down here, no.’ He said I was very brave and that you should always follow your dreams. Meeting Sir Christopher Lee remains one of my most favourite happenings in my life and I shall cherish that memory until I pop my mortal coil. He was an impressive, warm, kind, humble and funny man. They’ll never be anyone like him again. May he rest in peace.

*The voice of Saruman:* “Suddenly another voice spoke, low and melodious, its very sound an enchantment. Those who listened unwarily to that voice could seldom report the words that they heard; and if they did, they wondered, for little power remained in them. Mostly they remembered only that it was a delight to hear the voice speaking, all that it said seemed wise and reasonable, and desire awoke in them by swift agreement to seem wise themselves. When others spoke they seemed harsh and uncouth by contrast; and if they gainsaid the voice, anger was kindled in the hearts of those under the spell. For some the spell lasted only while the voice spoke to the them, and when it spoke to another they smiled, as men do who see through a juggler’s trick while others gape at it. For many the sound of the voice alone was enough to hold them enthralled; but for those whom it conquered the spell endured when they were far away, and ever they heard that soft voice whispering and urging them. But none were unmoved; none rejected its pleas and its commands without an effort of mind and will, so long as its master had control of it.” - from The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien

His Italian is very good. Then again, he is of Italian descent and perhaps speaks it with family members.

I can't believe how much of himself he brings into each language, his personalities are so consistent.

He spoke one of the characters in the animated movie "The Last Unicorn" (King Haggard) in the original English dub but what most people don't know, he also spoke the same character in the German dub. He also spoke Russian, Portuguese, Swahili (an African language), and three different kinds of Urdu dialects (spoken in India and Pakistan).

It’s incredible that he still sounds like himself in all five languages. He still has that cadence, that speech pattern, I can muddle my way through 3 of the 5 but I’m reliably informed by my German and French friends that I sound like a different person when the conversation moves into English. There’s such a confidence there. .

I just want to point out how helpful can it be to speak clear and slowly. I'm Spanish, I speak English, a bit of French and I more or less understand Italian if it's not delivered at warp speed... but Sir Christopher Lee speaks German so clearly that I get the impression I understand him! I've met lots of people who think they speak better English (or any other language for that matter) because they go faster and faster. Nope, that doesn't help. Just ease a bit the pace, you'll have more time to think what to say (instead of speaking without thinking) and to articulate more clearly. A win - win situation, here demonstrated by such a Legend in Capitals as Sir Christopher Lee.

those people probably think that because of school. going by my own experiences those listening exercises grew in difficulty by speaking faster and faster, at some point you couldn´t be sure where one word ended and the next began (if you didn´t know the languege very well)

His spanish looks odd to me, whit a thick accent, but powerful nevertheless. And he´s reading it I wish i were able to see him actually speaking like in the german interview. (I´m from Spain).

This is the most charming thing ever. I'm native french, his has a clear accent but is very nice and sharp, no hesitation, even use of slang when talking about kids for a slight bit. Very impressive
