We need 2 different polls here, one for serious roles, and another for his silly roles. I really enjoy watching somebody traditionally cast in such silly roles get to try their hands at comedy. Mr. Lee is good at both, but I don't think a lot of people really expect him to be funny, so it's really a pleasant surprise!

Best dramatic roles: The Wicker Man, probably to be replaced in the future by his role as Saruman, in Lord of the Rings. This is a prediction based on what I've heard so far from various sources. Dracula. Rasputin.

Best comedy roles: The House of the Long Shadows--his witty repartee with Vincent Price is classic. The Return of Captain Invincible--showcases his wonderful contra-basso singing talent and shows what a great sport he is, similar to something you might see in Rocky Horror!
