When it came time to film Saruman’s death in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, director Peter Jackson attempted to give Lee some direction on how to behave and sound when he was stabbed in the back. While presumably giving Jackson a thousand-yard stare, Lee asked Jackson if he knew what someone sounded like when stabbed in the back, following it up with “Because I do”. We can only imagine the amount of regret that permanently imprinted on Jackson’s soul at that moment.
