Nice tribute from a man who has now worked in some of the biggest movies of all times…
What do you consider to be your greatest performance? Karen Milward, Leeds
Without a doubt, Mohammed Ali Jinnah, the founder of the nation of Pakistan, whom I played in the 1998 film Jinnah. He was to Pakistan what Gandhi was to India. I took the part because I thought that the truth should be told about his life. He has been so maligned and misrepresented, most notably in the film Gandhi, where he was portrayed as some kind of demon, which he certainly wasn’t. But the film hasn’t been generally released. I don’t know why, except that today, if you mention that a film is about a Muslim, in some parts of the world, they will say that only means one thing.
Zakk, you are the man! I really needed the link, and you got it!!! Thank alot yar!!!
Christopher Lee is a great actor, and he did an excellent job playing Jinnah, I think we should all send him fan mail and appreciate his commendable performance!!!
Interesting…check it out…re: the Christopher Lee interview:

Thats the exact same thing Zakk posted?? Anywayz, all of you guys should goto his official website and sign his guest book, and appreciate him comments!
^I found the excerpt interesting so I posted it. Christopher Lee is a favorite of mine in his role as Dracula in many horror flicks through the decades. I will have to check this movie out though. Sounds pretty good.

hmm, but your article is the same as Zakks, if anyones got a different interview, plz post it here... And do watch the movie, its awesome! If you cannot find it, let me know, I have an old link (that still works), its a real video file, quality is not that good, but the brilliance of the movie will compensate for that.
