Here is part of a discussion on Patrick Stewart and roles he could have played in the LotR movies:<P><B>Maril</B>:<BR>Let's give him more of a challenge - Denethor! Seriously, I think he could carry Denethor's blend of glittering intelligence, subtlety and dignified arrogance really well. And I think an actor of Patrick Stewart's calibre would appreciate playing the grey area of morality for a while. One does get tired of the white hat. <P><B>Estelyn</B>:<BR>Wow, Maril, that suggestion raised a mental image of Patrick "Denethor" Stewart sitting in his tower, looking into the palantir and declaiming: "I am Locutus of Minas Borgith - resistance is futile." <P>Actually, he'd be good for the role - anyone who can play the crazed Captain Ahab in Moby D could do Denethor well, I think. Then again, he'd probably be too expensive for the movie's budget!
