I don't think with Lee it was because he didn't have the ability, more that his heart wasn't really in it and he didn't really love what he was making,horror especially. He was certainly more in it for the money than because he enjoyed what he was doing.
A claim which is proven by his dominating presence in non-starring roles in later films by directors he admired such as Peter Jackson, George Lucas and Tim Burton.
When i say 'I don't think' i mean i know having read his memoir Lord of Misrule. |
Peter Cushing loved his audience and loved giving them what they loved.
