Who was the first choice to play the character of Aragorn? I have been kicking my memory without result. 'First choice' reportedly demanded as much as the movie's whole budget to play the role of Aragorn. .

Four Actors Who Almost Played Aragorn in The Lord of the Rings

The four:

a.) Nicholas Cage (blah!)

b.) Daniel Day-Lewis (my preference)

c.) Russell Crowe (not a bad choice)

d.) Vin Diesel (ummm, NO!)

Daniel Day Lewis is the only one who looks part elf.
He could have done a great job.

Either Nicholas Cage or Russell Crowe I think. Jackson liked Viggo Mortensen; I guess that I have gotten used to him. Did you know that when he kicked that Ork helmet in The Two Towers he actually did break a toe? No wonder he screamed so loudly! Also, when Samwise waded into the Anduin chasing Frodo in his Elf canoe, he cut his foot badly on a broken piece of glass under the water.
