Sir Ian McKellen

AGE 64

'RINGS' ROLE Gandalf, the respected wizard who guides and advises the Fellowship through their darkest hours

BEFORE 'LOTR' They don't call him ''Sir Ian'' for nothing: McKellen is one of the series' most seasoned actors, beginning in the '60s with a slew of Shakespeare classics right through another little blockbuster that could, ''X-Men.''

AFTER 'LOTR' McKellen will continue to grab coveted roles, especially since ''Rings'' has helped make the British actor a certified American star and led him to an Oscar nomination -- the only acting nod generated by the franchise thus far. The sole movie he has planned right now, though, is David Mackenzie's ''Asylum,'' a dark romance about a woman who moves with her husband to the loony bin where he works.
