King Lear Or The Groundskeeper In Caddyshack? Hugh Jackman Reveals His Dream Roles

[@ChrisAlbertH47]

That Patrick Stewart tip was something my dad used to say to me too. Always try to create a good moment for yourself before the world requires you to pay attention to it.

[@wisho-ro4305]

That is a really great quote

[@Mubashir_AK]

Wonderful mantra. It gave me a perspective on why even a little change my breakfast routine upsets me so much. I guess it's because that's my time to myself before I have to face the world.

Glenda Jackson could play (McKellen's) Hamlet's mother. A phenomenal film, tv and stage actress and person, Oscar winner, then gave it up to serve as a member of parliament (in the UK) for decades, THEN returned to the stage and played King Lear. She will survive us all.

[@daniellamcgee4251]

My thoughts exactly! An elderly family member of mine acted in repetory theater with Glenda Jackson in 1962, just before her break out role as Elizabeth I. Apparently she was pretty much the same brilliant, talented, strong willed, and intimidating woman back in her 20s! Ian Mckellen also had extraordinary stage presence and gravitas back in 1963 playing Henry V, before he got his Actor's Equity Card and turned pro., also.

[@telectronix1368]

@@daniellamcgee4251 I wonder if they were ever on stage together before. To the search engine!

[@daniellamcgee4251]

@@telectronix1368 Yes, both Glenda Jackson and Ian Mckellen were definitely on stage prior to 1962, and 1963 respectively. Both were in lead roles in those years, and had experience. My family member played 'boy' to Ian Mckellen's Henry V, and lead in a few plays opposite Glenda Jackson for a few months.( A ridiculous combination!) To get an Actor's Equity Card took 2 years of repertory theater- meaning performing in theater groups at an amateur level in different places in England wherever you could find a place. It was gruelling. Six nights a week, and Saturday matinee, performing, while day times were rehearsing the new play. London Theaters ran the same way (probably still do), but had longer runs of each performance. Whereas repertory theater could change the performed play every week. Shakespeare was always on the programme! Also, to get into repetory theater most people had completed studying acting courses such as at RADA or the Guildhall, etc. Performances of the big name acting schools would get brief reviews written about them in newspapers and acting magazines, so a keen researcher may find evidence of Ian Mckellen and Glenda Jackson on stage in articles of the late 1950s. If acting work wasn't available in London, professional actors would perform with other theater groups elsewhere. As an actor's professional work becomes extensive, they don't tend to mention their amateur work, which is unfortunate. Although when I last looked, some years ago, Ian Mckellen had professional photos of his 1963 Henry V , and other early work on his website, including highschool. I have had a little attempt to find evidence of Glenda Jackson's amateur work to no avail! But I haven't checked reviews, or her schools. What I do know is that by the time they become professional, they had years of acting and stage experience. Some people were naturally good and had stage presence to start with, others, like Judi Dench, had to work harder! Sorry for the essay! I really tried hard to make this short!

[@misterderp4566]

What a charmer. And, Stephen, don't pretend for a second you don't wake up a little early to bask in the shining light that is Evie. We should all be so lucky.

[@freedom584]

He works really hard for the craft.

[@daniellamcgee4251]

English trained actors of Ian Mckellen's era learned how to play old and young parts. Versatility was key. Mckellen has played Hamlet before, and is young of heart. If Glenda Jackson (a woman) could play King Lear (in the traditional male role) at aged 83 years, after decades of a career in politics, I am pretty sure KcKellen could play Hamlet. :)

[@daniellamcgee4251]

@@freedom584 Ian Mckellen has always worked hard for his craft. Even before he was eligible to qualify as a professional actor, when he was in his early 20s, he absolutely committed to the role of Henry V in 1963. He had atage presence and gravitas at that age. (According to an elderly family member of mine, at least! I believe the reviews were pretty good, too! )

Murdoch and Ham were gifts in the same sense that burning dog shite left on ones doorstep is a gift. Murdoch in particular, along with his family, has done so much harm to the USA, we shall probably never recover from it. I do love Oz, but not everything coming from there is desirable, Jackman notwithstanding.

[@daniellamcgee4251]

@@AvalonMorley It's more than unfortunate that Rupert didn't follow his mother, Elizabeth's, example, because she dedicated much of her life to supporting and funding charities and hospitals, etc. in Australia. (With the wealth accumulated by Rupert's father). In an interview Elizabeth Murdoch said she disagreed with her son about many things, and argued with him, to no avail. The damage Rupert has done, particularly in the U.S., U.K., and Aus. is incalculable.
