Sir Ian McKellen’s webpage has a new section called ‘E-Posts’ where he answers questions about his role as Gandalf. There’s some interesting tid-bits, like his mention of modelling Gandalf’s voice on Tolkien’s own, (which is available on recordings) as he feels that Gandalf is a part of Tolkien’s own character. You can read about it for yourself here
