| Christopher Lee Bio:
He was born in Belgravia, London on 27th May 1922.
Lee was educated at Summer Fields preparatory school,
took a scholarship at Eton College and Wellington College where he was a classical scholar in
Greek and Latin. During five years of World War II he served in the
Royal Air Force and Special Forces in 1946. He entered the film industry in
1947 and was for a time under contract to the Rank
Organization. He has appeared in the theater and in operatic
performances and has recorded for radio world-wide.
This gaunt, handsome, deep-voiced actor has become one of
the icons of the horror film industry. With his imposing
presence he has played many villainous roles including the
Frankenstein Monster, Dracula and Fu Manchu. His most
famous role is the blood-thirsty Count Dracula opposite
Peter Cushing's Professor Van Helsing in the Hammer
horror films. He has rarely varied his approach to his
roles. He portrays characters who are intelligent,
unsympathetic, aggressive, humorless, ruthless and
totally evil.

Saruman The White Bio
Like Gandalf, Saruman is the Chief of the 'ISTARI', a
brotherhood of wizards sent to Middle Earth by Valar from the
Undying Lands into the mortal world in the form of a man. With the purpose to guide the free people of Middle
Earth in their fight against the growing evil of the Dark Lord,
Sauron. His white color denotes his high status among the brotherhood.
Unfortunately Saruman has held a secret desires for power
and glory. He desired to have the 'One
Ring', and has spent many years building
armies, in preparation for war.
Saruman despises Gandalf since he knows where the 'one ring' is hidden (in the possession of Bilbo Baggins)
but Saruman could never get him to follow in his evil plots for conquest. His chief
power is his voice, to an unaware
listener, it sounded sweeter than elvish
singing, and he could persuade nearly
anyone to do his bidding...
