    Well, maybe not wizard typecast, but typecast to play much older than he was. He was only 63 when he first played Gandalf. To put it in perspective, that’s only one year older than Tom Cruise is right now.

      Isn’t Gandalf a multi-thousand-year-old immortal angel of sorts? Seems like a bit of a strange concern in that context…

        Yeah, but he’s described as having the form of a wizened old man.
