Orlando Bloom auditioned for Faramir

Stuart Townsend, (Dorian Gray - League of Extraordinary Gentlemen), had the part of Aragorn, but was replaced, (by Viggo), after 4 days due to 'creative differences'

It's rumoured David Bowie was keen on playing Elrond

Daniel Day-Lewis turned down the part of Aragorn

John Rhys-Davies auditioned for the role of Denethor

John Noble auditioned for Saruman, but wasn't tall enough :P

Eowyn was given to Irish actress Alison Doody, who had to turn the part down because she had just given birth to a daughter.

Thank f*** for that he scares the s*** out of me

 

lol

I think he would have made a good elrond!

 

I watched that episode of GN and I didn't know about the others.

 

Vin as aragorn? That would just be wrong.

 

I heard that Peter Jackson wanted someone who looke dolder for Aragorn and realised this within a few days of filming, and that who he had cast already in the role looked too young.

Thats what i heard. At least, thats what Peter says on the FOTR-EE extras. So it might just be his side of the stry, or it might be the actually truth.

 

Im a Tounsedn fan, but im glad Viggo got the part. I think he suits aragorn better. After all, aragorn's supposed t be 80 odd, isnt he. Don't the neumenorian (sp?) live for stupidly long.

Well if anyone has actually heard of him, Gordon Michael Woolvett auditioned for the part of Sam (He's in Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda and was in the Bride of Chucky as...David I think his character was called)

He did?

 

Sheesh. I know him, but I would have never seen him as Samwise.

Kylie Minogue is prettier than Cate Blanchett in my opinion.....

Never understood the Kylie thing she has never has done anything for me - used to fancy Bouncer more

Also, Timothy Spall was originally offered the part of Gimli and apparently Johnny Vegas also auditioned for Sam's role. :P
