Actors Who Refused Roles In Lord Of The Rings

Показать описание
Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy brought so many great J.R.R. Tolkien characters to life on the big screen. Aragorn, Legolas, Gandalf, and Gimli are now some of the most beloved characters in the fantasy adventure genre.

The films also made Viggo Mortenson and Orlando Bloom into major stars. Indeed, The Lord of The Rings assembled a fine cast of actors that included the talents of Cate Blanchett, Ian McKellen, Elijah Wood, and Christopher Lee.

But there were also actors who turned down the opportunity to play some of literature’s most famous roles. From a former James Bond to one of Hollywood's great method men, here are actors who refused roles in The Lord of The Rings.

I just want to say: THANK YOU to all those actors who refused to play rolls in LOTR. That’s why is a master piece

"What do you fear, lady?"
"A Cage"

This should be called "How Lord of The Rings Dodged Bullets for The Better"

Viggo morttensen is a very unique actor with great accent to play as Aragon. He's perfect.

Mortensen had a quiet humility which fit Aragorn very well.

So Viggo was the last choice but turned out to be the best one

The LOTR cast is full of people I didn't know at that time (except Ian and Sean Bean). So I basically watched a 11hr movie with people I've never heard of, and it turned out to be the greatest movie I've ever seen till this day. 💯💯💯

Viggo was perfect in this role. He was truly born to play Aragorn!

That Russel Crowe instinct was amazing and very ethical of him. Great guy he must be.

I’m so glad Nicholaus Cage wasn’t cast as Aragorn.

The LOTR was about an unknown land with "unknown" people. Big name actors would just distracted us from that magic, and possibly ruined it.

Eowyn: I fear neither death nor pain.
Aragorn: What do you fear, my lady?
Eowyn: A -Nicolas- Cage.

I love Miranda Otto as Eowyn ! She manages to bring candor, sweetness as well as strength and determination, and that's why Eowyn is my favourite character in LOTR.

I don't think any other actress could have done it so perfectly

I can’t imagine anyone fit in the role of Aragon, Viggo Mortensen is perfect for this. As so McKellen for Gandalf and Blanchett for Galadriel.

Wow, really makes you appreciate how the stars aligned on this trilogy. Each actor is so perfect in their role i really cant imagine anyone doing them better.

I like a lot of the actors and actresses that were mentioned for roles, however the ones who actually played the parts in the movies were absolutely perfect.

A moment of silence for those in a parallel dimension who got Cage as Aragorn and Connery as Gandalf.
