Q&A: Sir Ian McKellen Takes On The Prisoner’s Number One Tormenter

Ian McKellenFrom his extensive Shakespearean roots to his knockout X-Men and Lord of the Rings roles as Magneto and Gandalf, Sir Ian McKellen boasts a prowess so refined that he’s now playing a role, The Prisoner’s power-hungry villain Number Two, previously inhabited by not one actor but 17. Yet McKellen insists this isn’t your grandmother’s Number Two. “There’s no point in wondering how am I going to measure up to the other Number Twos, because it’s just a different script altogether,” the soft-spoken knight explained to Wired.com after addressing an auditorium of TV reporters at Hollywood’s Universal Hilton earlier this year. “My man is called Number Two, because the character was originally called Number Two. But he is Number One.” More..

TV Watch: Guillermo del Toro on Ferguson Video

Michelf writes: On Monday night, Guillermo del Toro was on Craig Ferguson’s late night talk show to promote his vampire book, “The Strain.”

Shortly after sitting down, GDT remarked on Ferguson’s coffee cup, shaped like a coiled snake. Craig said that since GDT was working on “The Hobbit”, maybe he should put a big snake in with all the other creatures. GDT said, “Well, there IS a “worm”. Craig said, “Oh, yeah, Smaug the Dragon”, and held the cup in front of his face, pretending to talk like Smaug–”Bilbo Baggins, You’d better be careful…!” GDT asked if he could borrow the cup for about three years.

Sala Baker is a Deadly Warrior

Sala Baker

Sala Baker

Ed sends this in: I hadn’t seen anything posted on TORN about this, but Tuesday’s episode of “Deadliest Warrior” on Spike TV featured Sala Baker in the Shaolin Monk vs Maori Warrior battle. The show has experts for each side demonstrate the killing power of a set of weapons associated with them and the results are inputted into a computer where a program runs 1000 battle simulations to decide the overall outcome of the fight. Sala provided the demonstration of Maori weapons as well as some good background info about the Maori in battle. The full episode can be viewed on Spike TV’s website.

Stephen Colbert…Knight of Gondor?

Mel writes: I know that many members of the Colbert Nation and TORn noticed that Anduril was hanging on Stephen Colbert’s wall during the Christmas special (it was reported here within hours, after all). I pulled up TORn this morning, however, expecting to see the newest development, but nothing. . .yet! On the off chance no one else saw this and squealed with delight, Stephen was “knighted” by Queen Noor of Jordan last night with none other than Anduril! He twice started to say, “I got this from–” but was cut off. I assumed he was talking about the sword. I don’t know if he was going to tell the truth, or finish it with: “–Lord Elrond himself!”

Ok Colbert…if you are THAT big a fan..you must come to TORN…so drop us a line already!
