Oh ok. So because he got old his acting suffered somehow? Way to be ageist. Have you seen the list of awards he has to his name (including the LotR films)? Christopher Lee - IMDb

Why are you twisting what the other person said into some wildly different thing?

Why are you twisting what the other person said into some wildly different thing?

It's not really twisted to point out that hundreds of millions of not-Americans watched Lee's performances and made lots of not-Dollars for him and the movies he was in. He was an A-lister in the English speaking world, just not in North America.

Age had nothing to do with it. In 1999 he hasn't had a hit in years and he wasn't an A lister.
Not claiming he's a bad actor. Generally you get maybe 10 years in the spotlight Leonardo D'Caprio, Tom Cruise and a few others are exceptions to that.

Lee's profile is also higher now because if the LotR movies. In the 90s he was that old B grade horror movie actor and the guy from Man With Golden Gun movie and N64 game.

Jinnah came out in 1998. It likely had more viewers than lived in the USA at the time

I don't think Jinnah counts when people think hit 90s movie.

Maybe actually read what I replied to? They twisted another poster's words into a statement of ageism, which it very clearly wasn't.

And yet, most American movie-goers (the primary audience of the films) had no clue who he was, or only a vague sense, when they first saw FoTR.

 

[bedir than]

Most Americans, sure.

But why continue to insist that only Americans matter for a global film?

Lord of the Rings made twice the money internationally as it did domestically.

So? It was a hit movie with ensemble cast.

I don't think it's success had a lot to do with Lee in particular.

I don't think it had to with any cast members, even Elijah Wood, Liv Tyler, or any of those well known. It was made in NZ with a few Americans, some established British talent and a host of cheaper Australian and New Zealand locals filling out the cast.
