Sir Ian’s Method

How does Sir Ian McKellen act so well?  Well, he simply imagines himself as the person he is supposed to be playing.  How does he know what to say?  There is a script—with words.  How does he know where to stand?  People tell him.  If you were to draw a graph of his process, “his method,” if you will, it would look like the above image, as he so clearly elucidates in this clip.

Be the first to comment. I dare you.
