Actually, Ian is an AMAZING actor. I watched a version of Macbeth from about twenty years ago with Ian McKellan as Macbeth and Judi Dench as Lady Macbeth, and Ian played one of the thanes as well as the porter (one of my favorite Shakespearean characters; hilarious, but no point whatsoever). He was stellar, and even had a spot-on Scottish accent as the porter.
