a fate narrowly avoided

Thank god the LotR team realized Stuart Towsend was a bad choice for Aragorn. Because now we can see just how bad -- http://www.livejournal.com/users/seleneheart/26439.html

All I can think is he must have given one hell of an audition, because I've seen him in a couple of things and think he's a pretty weak actor. Thank goodness indeed.

Yeah, I've never been able to figure that out. At all.

All I can say is WTF?!?

Gah!! Horrid.

As if his Dorian Gray in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen wasn't enough- AIYEEE!

He looks ... sulky. Which is not a look I would want on Aragorn. Sulky, and a bit pouty.

Ick.

viggo mortenson wasn't the first name to occur to me as a likely actor to play aragorn, but i think everyone agrees that he was the best choice imaginable for the role. as for stuart townshead, i haven't taken him seriously since his embarrassing spectacle in queen of the damned which was just awful.

Was there a time you took him seriously before then?

[tommx.livejournal.com]

i never saw him in anything before that, so no.

Exactly.
