I don't know who they had for him to begin with, but I think Sean Bean, who played Boromir, was an awesome actor and should have (and definitely could have) played Aragorn. He was far more kingly, even as Boromir, than Viggo. Extremely noble...and an excellent actor.
Personally, I think that Mortensen played Aragorn rather poorly, and I'm sorry that they had to botch one of the most awesome character in the book. (Sorry, Ainaserkewen.)

Honestly, I can't see Townsend playing Aragorn. Townsend is very precise (as was mentioned earlier) in his acting. You can see that in his portrayal of Dorian and Lestat. Viggo is more rugged than Townsend IMO and if I had to choose a character that Townsend would fit in LOTR it would be an Elf not Aragorn.

Crikey could you imagine if Townsend had played Aragorn together with Orlando Bloom as Legalos? The pre-teen ladies would have been having continuous heart attacks. PJ might as well have cast Brad Pitt as Gimli.
