Who best portrayed their character?

[Naresha]

Okay... Now... Which actor - specific to the group who comprised the literal fellowship - did the best job at portraying their character in the films? Who do you think best brought the Prof's vision to life?

 

 

Given I can't do more than 10 options, I shall have to do more than one poll! Part two coming soon!!!

 

 

Resha.

[theoden_of_rohan]

Good poll!

 

I would have to say Ian McKellen for this...his portrayal of Gandalf (especially Gandalf the Grey) was exactly how I imagined Gandalf to be!

 

That might be because there have been so many illustrations of him beforehand, including many by John Howe etc...but I still think, out of the above options, Ian did the best job with his character!

Good grief, what a hard question, they all did a fantastic job and the casting was spot on.

 

Viggo was exceptional as Aragorn. I did have my doubts at first though, but that was only a physical thing, and how I had forseen him in the books. After the first scene, there was no doubt in my mind he was Aragorn and now I cannot imagine him any other way.

 

My vote goes to Ian McKellen though. As soon as I saw him as Gandalf, he became Gandalf...in fact he IS Gandalf...exactly as I had imagined him to be. He played the character to perfection and there will be no other to surpass nor replace him.

Hi There

 

Originally I would have said Gandalf, because he DOES look and sound exactly as I always imagined him to be.....But unfortunately he came across as rather harsh to me in the films (always snapping and harping on about one thing or another) he just didn't show his true feelings and love for HIS hobbits, like he does in the books, until that one scene right at the end at the 'Grey Havens'.........So for the me the best portrayal of characterization has just got to be Billy as Pippin......So true to the book....Billy is Pippin!!!...But you knew I was going to say that anyway!!!....Didn't you???...

[Naresha]

Yeah... Gandalf was good - even if he was a little gruff, and I think that's a little excusable! He's been around a few years! And if you had to put up with Merry and Pippin all day everyday in addition to the rest of the menagerie, you might be a bit gruff too LOL! I can't actually remember who I voted for... I think it was Viggo... Couldn't say for certain though!

[Elrond]

My vote goes for Dom as he appears to have no votes, however I agree with most that Sir Ian really deserves it.

[Naresha]

You are the generous one!

 

Once again... An actor who generated a lot of fans from the film has no votes! What did Mr Bloom do or not do that made him not garner ONE little vote? I know Sir Ian stands out - but asides from being overshadowed, what did The Elf lack?

[Narago]

of course i voted for Aragorn i mean he has it all, looks, charm, sexiness oh and he is a really good actor too

[BEX (PSP)]

Now I love Viggo....But I thought Lij was fantastic

For me, it isn't that he lacked anything, I just think there were other actors who did a better job than him.

[smaugasbord]

IAN MCKELLEN......Gandalf rocks.

[Gandalfia]

I do love all the hobbits in it, but gotta go for Ian!

[Billybird]

I'm not admitting to anything (though I did vote!)

[Embo]

good poll, had to vote for Ian, wot a brilliant actor

[Legolassie Malfoy]

That is a toughy. Normally I would be biased and put Orlando. In the end I voted for Viggo who I thought rocked as Aragorn. I did also love Sir Ian's protrayal of Gandalf.

[Sauron]

Definately ian mckellan
