Personal Quote:

[on turning down the role of Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings] I don't know why I turned it down. I think it had to do with spending four years in New Zealand. There's other countries I want to visit before I croak. But Ian McKellen got the role and he was fantastic in it. He played the role really warm and kind and I hate the son-of-a-bitch! See more »

Trivia:

Grew up in the village of Senneville, Québec, Canada. See more »
