Extractions: Mom Hopes Mystery Boy Is Her Son ... Lowly Fruit Fly's Amazing Flight Secrets Sir Ian McKellen, who picked up the Screen Actor's Guild award Sunday for his work in Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring , is clearly a frontrunner to win supporting actor honors at this year's Oscar. At 63, the British actor is on top of his game and one of the hottest actors on the big screen. This weekend he hosts Saturday Night Live and he says he'd like audiences to see the other side of him. From Shakespeare to Stand-Up This Shakespearean-trained actor has long been acclaimed in his native land and has appeared in more than 50 films. But with two more Lord of the Rings sequels in the works, audiences will see a lot of McKellen with a long white beard, playing J.R.R. Tolkein's hero-wizard.

Richard III With Ian McKellen the movie by director Richard Loncraine, based on Shakespeare's play, starring ian mckellen, Annette Bening, Jim Broadbent, et al. http://www.cosmopolis.ch/english/cosmo4/richard.htm
Extractions: Looking directly into the eye of the camera, Ian McKellen (Richard III) confides his machinations to the audience, making them Richard's confidants and drawing them directly into the drama."Richard, the consummate liar, always speaks the truth to the audience, but only to them," McKellen emphasizes. "That is meant to be disarming for an audience, because they alone are privy to what he intends to do, and they become accomplices [in] his schemes." Mc Kellen is sensational in his role as Richard. The majority of actors are convincing, for instance Jim Broadbent as Buckingham, Jim Carter as Prime Minister Lord Hastings, Nigel Hawthorne as Clarene and Maggie Smith as the Duchess of York, Richard's mother. As always, there is the author's original play, and there is the adaptation to the big screen. The film is a work of art by itself and therefore should not always and in every detail be compared to the underlying play. Still, what is disturbing is the fact that the dialogues in the film are severely cut and therefore Shakespeare's sense for the development of the story sometimes gets lost. The film rushes more or less from one murder to another. But of course, some of them are perfectly staged, for instance the murder of Rivers (Robert Downey, Jr.) in the midst of a sex scene comes completely unexpectedly.

Extractions: Biography : Ian McKellen is among the most acclaimed actors of his generation, honored with more than forty international awards for his performances on stage and screen. He was born in the industrial north of England on May 25th 1939, the son of a civil engineer. He first acted at school and at Cambridge University where he studied English Literature and appeared in 21 undergraduate productions. Without any formal dramatic training, he made his professional debut in 1961 at the Belgrade Theatre in Coventry and for three seasons worked his apprenticeship with other regional companies, culminating with the opening of the Nottingham Playhouse, where he was directed by his childhood hero, Sir Tyrone Guthrie. His first London appearance in A Scent of Flowers (1964) won him the Clarence Derwent Award and an invitation from Sir Laurence Olivier to join his new National Theatre Company at the Old Vic Theatre. This was followed by two seasons with the touring Prospect Theatre, storming the 1969 Edinburgh Festival as Shakespeare's Richard II and Marlowe's Edward II. These played for two sell-out seasons in London and were televised. His Hamlet followed and established McKellen as "the leading classical actor of his generation." In 1972, he co-founded the democratically run Actors' Company.
