My new hero

Christopher Lee!

He's so awesome! WWII RAF and apparently British Spec Ops (apparently Peter Jackson was trying to tell him how to die when he's stabbed in the back in the final episode of Lord of the Rings, Lee responded that he knows how people react when stabbed)

* Commander of the Order of the British Empire and/or the Order of St. John of Jerusalem
* Officier des arts et lettres
* Has the most screen credits of any actor
* Depending on the source, he speaks French, Italian, Spanish and German and can "get along" in Swedish, Russian and Greek.
* His films have raked in more than any other actor (~US$4.4bn topping Samuel L. Jackson's ~US$3.8bn)
* He knows what music he likes and has become such good friends with his favourite band that they let him perform with them on their albums and at events when he's free

But in the end, he's found what he likes and what he's good at and works hard at it - awesome devotion.

And now to lighten the mood a bit, a nice take on those stick figure flash animations can be found here.
