11. Meet Your Maker
Via www.britannica.com
Only one cast member met J.R.R Tolkien, the man behind the Lord of the Rings. That cast member was none other than Christopher Lee who had an incredibly-eventful life. This man has an impressive list of accomplishments including the ability to speak Italian, French, German, Spanish, with a little bit of Swedish, Russian, Greek and Mandarin. It served him well when he served with the British Special Forces in WWII.
Interestingly, Tolkien gave Lee his blessing to play Gandalf, should a live action adaptation ever occur.
