Zap2it Casts the 2008 Primaries: Ian McKellen

Political (Acting) Background
McKellens political roles are old school, as in Shakespearean. Hes portrayed Hamlet, Macbeth, and Richard III. Hes most widely known for his lead roles in the Lord of the Rings and X-Men trilogies.

Why Wed Cast Him
McKellen looks a bit like Ron Paul, and we suspect that Pauls notable Internet fan base would embrace the actor who played Gandalf in a heartbeat.
