    I remember reports of Sir Ian having cancer during the filming on the first trilogy, and thinking, man I hope he makes it. Well, I’m glad he has, and hope he makes as many more as he possibly can. The man is a treasure.

      If that happens, they better not shove him in front of a bunch of green screens and ask him to act with a tennis ball again! That shit was fucked.
