I remember that too...and then nothing much happened.
I know Viggo was hired at the last minute for Lord of the Rings because some other actor just didn’t work out. I never heard who that other actor was. Did you?

He replaced Stuart Townsend, who would have been even wussier.

"I know Viggo was hired at the last minute for Lord of the Rings because some other actor just didn’t work out. I never heard who that other actor was. Did you?" Nope, too bad it was him because for me all I saw was a dirty guy who sorta mouthed words and looked pathetic. But honestly I can't think of a modern day A-Lister who seems to fit the part.
Connery would have been good but his accent would have been distracting
