Ian McKellen (2003).

Sir Ian Murray McKellen, född 25 maj 1939 i Burnley, Lancashire,[1] är en brittisk skådespelare.

Biografi

McKellen började med skådespeleri under skoltiden. Han gick med i Belgrade Theatre i Coventry 1961 och debuterade på Londonscenen 1964 i A Scent of Flowers. Han medverkade i uppsättningar av bland annat Hamlet och Richard II. Han har belönats med två Laurence Olivier Awards och en Tony Award för sina scenframträdanden.

McKellen gjorde sin tv- och filmdebut på 1960-talet, och 1981 hade han framgång som Salieri i AmadeusBroadway.[2] Han fick dock sitt stora genombrott på film först på 90-talet med Bryan Singers Sommardåd, baserad på en berättelse av Stephen King och sin Oscarsnominerade roll som regissören James Whale i Gods and Monsters. Bryan Singer regisserade honom även i X-Men (2000). Efter detta har han spelat i den filmens uppföljare och porträtterat Gandalf i Sagan om ringen och dess uppföljare. För denna fick han sin andra Oscarsnominering. Sedan dess har han bland annat medverkat i Da Vinci-koden. McKellen fick år 2003 en förfrågan om att spela Dumbledore i Harry Potter och fången från AzkabanRichard Harris som tidigare gestaltat Dumbledore avled i Hodgkins sjukdom alldeles innan premiären av Harry Potter och hemligheternas kammare. McKellen tackade dock nej på grund av att Harris inte uppskattade honom som skådespelare och för att visa Harris en form av respekt.[källa behövs]

1991 blev McKellen adlad av drottning Elizabeth för sitt arbete inom teater.
