Peter Cushing (Actor) .. Dr Schreck
Christopher Lee (Actor) .. Franklyn Marsh
Born: May 27, 1922 in Belgravia, London
Best Known For: Playing Dracula.
Early-life: Born Christopher Frank Carandini Lee on May 27, 1922, in Belgravia, London, the son of an Italian aristocrat and a soldier. He had an older sister, Xandra, whose daughter is actress Harriet Walter. When their parents divorced, the children were raised by their mother and her second husband, a banker. Lee attended Wellington College, then worked in a London shipping office before serving in the RAF during the Second World War. On being demobbed, he was snapped up by Rank Studios, but failed to get a big break, appearing instead in several small roles.
Career: Lee hit the big time in 1957 when his formidable height landed him the role of the monster in Hammer's The Curse of Frankenstein. It marked the beginning of his horror movie partnership with Peter Cushing, which also included such films as Dracula, The Mummy, and The Gorgon. Lee went on to become one of the world's most prolific actors. Star Wars episodes II and III and The Lord of the Rings introduced him to a new generation of fans. Other significant titles include The Wicker Man, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Gremlins II, The Man with the Golden Gun and The Golden Compass. He also appeared in Alice in Wonderland, Burke and Hare, Season of the Witch and The Hobbit. He died on June 7, 2015, at the age of 93 due to respiratory problems and heart failure.
Quote: 'There are many vampires in the world today - you only have to think of the film business.'
Trivia: Lee was knighted in 2009. Away from acting, he was an accomplished singer and had an intriguing sideline as a heavy metal star.
Donald Sutherland (Actor) .. Bob Carroll
Born: July 17, 1935 in Saint John, Canada
Best Known For: MASH, Don't Look Now and Kelly's Heroes.
Early-life: Donald McNichol Sutherland was born on July 17, 1935, in Saint John, Canada, and was raised in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia. He became a DJ at the age of 14 on a local radio station, before studying engineering and drama at the University of Toronto, where he was evicted from his lodgings after hurling a sink out of a window. He moved to London, where he attended the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. A spell in repertory theatre followed.
Career: Sutherland appeared in several British TV dramas before making his film debut in 1964's Crypt of Horror. He named his eldest son after its director, Warren Kiefer. More small-screen and low-budget movie projects followed until 1967's The Dirty Dozen. That led to bigger roles in acclaimed films, including 1970's MASH, which made him a star. Impressive yet occasionally offbeat performances followed in films such as Kelly's Heroes, Klute, Don't Look Now, The Eagle Has Landed, Animal House, Ordinary People and JFK. More recently he's featured in Dirty Sexy Money, Astro Boy (as the voice of President Stone), The Hunger Games and The Pillars of the Earth.
Quote: 'I was up for a great part, but they told me: 'Sorry, you're the best actor, but this part calls for a guy-next-door type. You don't look as if you've ever lived next door to anyone.''
Trivia: Sutherland started blogging for The Huffington Post in 2008.
