Ian McKellen Gives A Master Class In Acting

Sir Ian McKellen is a great actor. Beyond being nominated for almost every acting award known to man, in 1991 he was actually knighted for his service to the performing arts. He’s an actual knight of theater, so when he gives you tips on acting you better listen. In this vintage clip, McKellen performs the opening line from The Merchant of Venice multiple times.
