[Feature] Ian McKellen--How do you know him, Gandalf, Magneto, Holmes or cynical Freddie?

He is 76 today and he has created so many classic characters, and been nominated twice in Oscar. McKellen's work spans genres ranging from Shakespearean and modern theatre to popular fantasy and science fiction. His notable film roles include Gandalf in The Lord of the Ring and The Hobbit trilogies and Magneto in the X-Men films.

As a fun old man never too old to be on screen, in 2003, McKellen made a guest appearance as himself on the American cartoon show The Simpsons, in a special British-themed episode entitled "The Regina Monologues", along with Tony Blair and J.K. Rowling. Such an honour! You probably didn't remember that McKellen also appeared as Leigh Teabing in The Da Vinci Code.

Besides films, he has created a cynical Freddie in a 2013 English drama "Vicious".
