who if not Viggo should be Aragon?

Well, in an indirect way I agreed with WTRF about using a James Bond actor...only he suggested Timothy Dalton...and the best image that has always come up in MY mind was either Sean Connery as he looked when he played Agamemnon in "Time Bandits" (he looked VERY kingly then!) or at least someone who didn't have a broken nose and look like a refugee from a Native American casting list. Regardless of features, I had always imagined a rugged type face, to the point of severe scruffiness, with dark hair and dark eyes...and MAYBE a mustache....but I've never been fond of mustaches.

Elijah Wood was SPOT ON for Frodo. I am SO glad that role didnt go to Stuart Townsend...I heard he left the production as Aragorn all in a snit because he wanted to be Frodo.

Bet he's kicking himself now. Doesn't matter. I couldn't have even envisioned him as Aragorn. Too pretty.

I had heard about Stuart Townsend, but didn't know who he was and hadn't seen any pictures. I just did a search and found some. He would have been TOTALLY wrong! Way too young, for one thing. I'm glad that didn't go through!

I'm glad too, I couldn't picture him as Frodo OR Aragorn, besides Aragorn doesn't use an axe..............what?.........STUART Townshend? Oh, nevermind.
