It was Tolkien that wanted Sir Christopher Lee to play Gandalf.

To be fair Sir Christopher Lee didn't say it out of malice. He was the ONLY person of the entire cast to actually meet Tolkien in person and Tolkien actually gave him his blessing to play Gandalf 🧙‍♂️

Honestly though, as much as I respect Sir Christopher Arandini Lee and wouldn't have dared to argue with him over anything, I think Peter Jackson made the perfect choice casting him as Saruman and Sir Ian Mckellen as Gandalf.. They play off each other so perfectly and Sir Lee's stature and voice fit Saruman so much more where the somewhat more timid and kinder faced and voiced Sir Mckellen fit Gandalf as much..

He would have been a great Gandalf, but he was born to play saruman. He had that menacing look. Sir Ian is born for Gandalf. He has the kind eyes

"I always thought I should play Gandalf. By the way, do you happen to know what sound a man makes when he's stabbed in the back? Oh you will, shortly"

He would have made a grand Gandalf. But there would not be a substitute for the darkness that is Saruman.

He should’ve replied- “Did you know I was Peter’s second choice? Sean Connery turned it down.”

while it is sad he could not the casting was perfect. I do not think we could have gotten a better Sauroman and Gandalf.
