I suggested Ian McKellen for the leading supporting role in a film I was producing, writes David Conroy. The response was, ‘Ian who?’
In the 1980s I was in Los Angeles discussing an Anglo-us co-production of a film for television which I was producing. During the course of these discussions I had a meeting with the head of casting of one of the major Us TV networks. I suggested Ian McKellen for the leading supporting role. The response was: “Ian who?”
As I was having other battles I didn’t pursue the matter, intending to return to it the following day when I had another meeting scheduled with her. At that meeting she opened by telling me she had a suggestion for that role. When I inquired who might that be she replied: “Ian McKellen.” Naturally I thanked her and said I thought it an excellent choice and we agreed to offer it to him.

Washington, Apr 3 – If you aren’t in the habit of being physically active, you can run out of energy trying to force yourself to do it everyday. But if you can make physical activity habitual, being active becomes a lot easier – this is the suggestion of a leading academic.
David Conroy, associate professor of kinesiology and human development and family studies, has claimed that unintentional physical activity may be influenced by non-conscious attitudes.
The challenge of encouraging more activity can be met by understanding the motivation.
