Other Casting Possibilities...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was thinking about complaints vis-a-vis the casting of LOTR and the eeeeevvvil idea came up of just how horrible the casting might have been. Herein I offer some truly twitch-worthy possibilities to make jaws drop and gorges rise, inviting others to join in the game! :angeldevil

I think I'll ask that we stick to contemporary actors, just so that everyone can appreciate the horror that is to follow. Okay?

Here goes...

The Fellowship
Frodo...Ashton Kushner
Sam...Eddie Griffin
Merry...Ben Affleck
Pippin...Matt Damon
Aragorn...Pierce Brosnan
Boromir...Kurt Russell
Legolas...Hilary Swank
Gimli...Chris Kattan
Gandalf...Bill Murray

The Elves
Arwen...Paris Hilton
Elrond...Eugene Levy
Galadriel...Jenny McCarthy

Rohan
Theoden...Garry Marshall
Wormtongue...Jim Carrey
Saruman...Billy Bob Thornton
Eowyn...Jessica Alba
Eomer...Ben Stiller

Gondor
Denethor...Kesley Grammer
Faramir...Keanu Reeves

FWIW, IMO, Kelsey Grammer as Denethor works for me. Kurt Russell as Faramir does not make me twitch. (Think Kurt Russell in Tombstone). Most others are cringe worthy as would Bruce Willis in any role at all except maybe as one of the Uruk Hai.
