First, the character is one of my favorites. I've always been a fan of Merlin and other great wise, brave wizards. Add the latest one to the bunch - Prof. Dumbledore from HP.
But mostly because Sir Ian made Gandalf real, he seemed both strong when he needed to be, but revealed the weaknesses of an old man who really needed the Hobbits and the Elves as much as they needed him. This isn't really depicted in the same way in the books - at least as I recall when I read them.

Playing those roles were very challenging especially when he really had to leap into water to catch a fish as they filmed him in a black suit, to change how he looked in animation. Playing Diassociative indentity or Multiple Personality characters can be extremely challenging for any actor...

As an example, there was a short take of Gandalf and Saruman walking, while discussing the upcoming events. The take was done multiple times, and in the end Jackson had a whole range of emotions to choose from, from extremely dark, to a light, strolling walk in the park. Only true professionals can keep up that kind of professionalism day after day.
