Sting

I heard that David Bowie desperately wanted the role, but that P.J. thought he would be "too recognizable." Just his bad luck that the Matrix was such a hit, huh?<P>Personally, I thought he did a decent job, although his hairline did bug me a little, and he seemed a little mean in lines like "I was there when the strength of men failed" However, I thought he did a good job of distancing himself from Agent Smith. For the most part. Since he's Aussie, you can sort of tell that he's making an effort to "speak correctly," and, unfortunately, I detected a little of the Agent Smith character whenever he had a line that he really needed to suppress his accent for.<P>On another subject, what would you have thought of David Bowie as Elrond?
