By no means do I mean any disrespect in this but that video simply makes me appreciate his acting skills even more so. Obviously Mr Lee isn't young, but he's still highly effective on the screen

Yeah, he looks (and sounds) like he doesn't have much time left. He'll be missed when his time comes.

It's so depressing to see him so weak.

Sad to see him looking so frail, though generally inspired and am now really want to see Saruman's role in the final film!

Hope I look and be as coherent as Mr Lee when I'm 91.

Ages catches up with all of us, unfortunately. But under the physical frailty, I sense a great mind still at work. I enjoyed his short spell in AUJ, and look forward to seeing him much more in TABA (December 2014 he says, but I seem to remember seeing spring 2014 at some point but never mind).
I hope to hear another Christmas next year from CL (his is the voice I have always imagined Death to have in Discworld and of course he voiced it in the cartoon versions). In my father's opinion, he was the best of the the classic Draculas.

Frail or not, he retained a clear mind, great voice and all the amazingness he ever had. That, at 91, is a blessing, and I'd be more than happy to end up like that - or indeed get close to it, at any point in my life.

And I will have to get my hands on that christmas music. :yay:

I wouldn't be too worried about his health. Everytime he does one of these Youtube-videos from his own chair, he takes ALOT of time to say things. Its been like that for a few years. :) The man is still releasing heavy metal albums, so no worries. ;)

Fair point. Being descended from Charlamagne himself does that to you.
