Gandalf (Ian) has the most EXPRESSIVE eyes....there are a couple of times in the movie when his shifts his gaze ever so slightly and completely changes the mood of the scene...one time is after he pulls the ring out of the fire and hands it to Frodo...he asks him if there are any markings on it........at first Frodo says no. Gandalf looks confused and a bit discouraged.............then when Frodo says "Wait!!!", Gandalf darts his eyes and his whole expression becomes one of intense anticipation.........one of my (many) favorite moments in the film.

I love when he does things like that when Gandalf is in the background, too. Watch his face when Bilbo haltingly begins to admit the ring is not on the mantlepiece, but rather in his pocket--his entire expression shows Gandalf's growing dread that the ring might be more dangerous than any of them had imagined.

I think there is little doubt that McKellan is one of the great actors of this generation. If only . . .
