English character actor Christopher Lee is known for blockbuster films such as the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit franchises as well as the Star Wars prequels. He also appeared in 007 film The Man with The Golden Gun. Years earlier he worked for a top-secret group that partook in espionage activities during World War II. His role in the agency is classified, and he explained in a 2011 interview: “I was attached to the Special Air Service from time to time, but we are forbidden—former, present, or future—to discuss any specific operations. Let’s say I was in Special Forces and leave it at that. People can read into it what they like.”
