Behind the scenes
Gandalf as he appears in LEGO Dimensions.
- In the real world, Gandalf is a character from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien. Televised Doctor Who never explicitly makes this connection.
- Ian McKellen played Gandalf in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy; he later provided his voice for the Great Intelligence in The Snowmen. He also made a cameo as himself in costume as Gandalf on the set of The Hobbit in The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot.
- Fourth Doctor actor Tom Baker was briefly considered for the part of Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings film trilogy; coincidentally, Seventh Doctor Sylvester McCoy would later be cast as Gandalf's fellow wizard Radagast the Brown.
- Gandalf appears as one of the main characters in LEGO Dimensions.
