He has a great voice, but I thought when I first saw him in LOTR that he was a bit young for the role. (Tolkein's Aragorn was in his fifties). Then again, Frodo was too young (also in his fifties).

The disappointment has worn off. When we watched the Extended Version with the cast interview, DH was disappointed with the real live Liv. "Dingaling" he said, "Much prefer her as an elf." Goes to show that actors only create a role, they do not have the stature of the character.

Now that it looks like Peter Jackson will make hundreds of millions of dollars, will we get The Hobbit?

I was not interested at first either. I mean, c'mon, whats up with that chin anyway -- this guy's a Kirk Douglas, Burt Lancaster lovechild or something.

But the part grew on me. -- watching the contention between Aragorn and Boromir develop, then recede, as they sat off to the side - like brothers - always watching as others, wise-ards and more important folk, made up their path to the next time they would have to stand in the front and do battle. When Boromir dies I still get all choked up.
