I loved him as Saruman and Dooku. I never saw him as Dracula, though.

He passed away earlier today...
As well as playing Saruman and Count Dooku and being one of the most respected actors of forever, he was also (sort-of) friends with Tolkien.
This basically sums it up:

I'm sure you made the other Knights proud. (The Bachelor Knights is a group in England, comprised of only men who never marry and who are famous actors well into their old age. They are knighted by the monarch and given the title of "Sir" as initiation.)
He played mostly villains, but he made them memorable. He acted them well. Bravo, Sir Lee. The world will not soon forget you.
He actually died "on 7 June 2015 at 8:30 am after being admitted for respiratory problems and heart failure shortly after celebrating his 93rd birthday in hospital," according to Wikipedia.
