One of the greats for sure.
Ironically I first came to know him when I was 10 years old as Grand Moff Tarkin in the summer of 1977 when I (like every other kid that summer) became a Star Wars disciple.
It was shortly after that when I saw my first hammer films that I noticed Grand Moff Tarkin chasing Dracula and things like that. Later on as an adult I recognized his portrayal of Frankenstein was every bit as sinister as that of Darth Vaders sidekick.
The constant pairing of two actors in film after film usually gets tedious and boring, somehow Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing pulled it off. They are right up there with Karloff and Lugosi.
