Seth, drain the well. There's a neighbor missing

It is a good thing Ian McKellen followed up his turn in Cold Comfort Farm (1995) with roles as monumentally pop-cultural as Gandalf or Magneto, because otherwise I suspect people would still be accosting him in the street and shouting, "THERE'LL BE NO BUTTER IN HELL!"

. . . Actually, I really hope they still do.

I heard that when they were casting for Apt Pupil, the director worried that McKellen wouldn't look old enough for the role, and began asking if anyone knew that name of "that wonderful old actor who played the preacher in Cold
Comfort Farm." I think it's McKellen who tells this story....
