"As if you needed proof Sir Ian McKellen is a damn fine actor:
The 70-year-old actor is rehearsing Waiting For Godot in Melbourne, Australia, and was sitting in his tramp costume having a break when a passer-by gave him an Australian dollar.
He said: "During the dress rehearsal of Godot, I crouched by the stage door of the Comedy Theatre, getting some air, my bowler hat at my feet (and) seeing an unkempt old man down on his luck, a passer-by said, 'Need some help, brother?' and put a dollar in my hat."

An Australian Dollar?? Don't give up the day job, Sir Ian!
unless he proclaimed, "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!", i am disappointed...
I have a message to pass on to him, something about his little furry footed friends being taken somewhere or other. I'd deliver it myself, but
I really can't be arsed.

Man, I hope the guy who gave him the buck finds out about this. It'd make an interesting anecdote.
A wizard is never broke, he finds money precisely when he means to.

He only
pretended to be a Wizard in LOTR!
(When he's doing "proper" acting, he cheats, and uses real Magick.)
