<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Gandalf=Sean Connery<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Actually I believe this could be true. It is said that Sean Connery was infact offered the role of the Grey Pilgrim. He turned it down however because the proposed time for filming (half of what it actually turned out to be), was too long to be away from his family. It was then given to Ian McKellen.<P>It seems highky unlikely that it should have been given to Connery as McKellen is more fitting to the character. However I suppose if everyone's ideal Gandalf was included we would have either many grey wizard's, or one with mulitple personalities...
