Ian McKellen on Acting

Ian McKellen appeared on The Dick Cavett Show in 1981 and spoke eloquently about the nuts and bolts of acting. Spoiler: it's a lot more complicated than you would imagine. But that's all after you marvel at how young he was here. McKellen was already in his forties, but he certainly doesn't look like the Magneto or Gandalf you know. (via Laughing Squid)
