Ian McKellan as Gandalf.

This one of my very favorite comedies. It is hilarious

The Paul Darrow from Blake's Seven?

Miller is a really good actor

Oh how I hate Terry Brooks and how he made so much money ripping off Tolkien. HATE. He has admitted being "inspired by" Lord of the Rings. Well, he forget the parts about imagination and good writing. Terry Brooks - ugh. Anyone who names a wizard (and he had to have a Gandalf clone, didn't he) Alanon, as he did,…
