Christopher Lee: The Only Actor To Play All the Great Monsters?

Christopher Lee has played Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, the Mummy, and Mr. Hyde (albeit under an alias).

I don't think anybody else has done that.

He's fantastic as all of them.

Interestingly, Hammer never had a go at "The Invisible Man" nor "The Werewolf of London".I wonder why that was. Lee or Cushing could have nailed them.

The sense itself was I.

Paul Naschy has played all of them plus The Hunchback and Jack the Ripper. He also played a wolfman many times.

Edward Blake (Hyde) is my favourite of the Christopher Lee monsters. Plus we get to hear that great cultured voice of his as the good doctor in the same film. 'I, Monster' is my favourite Christopher Lee film.
