Who Should Have Played Tom Bombadil? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I think Connery is too "serious" for a role like Bombadil. I keep hearing that he was offered a part in the trilogy, but refused because he didn't understand it Too bad. He woulda been a great Denethor, Saruman or Theoden.<P>EDIT: On second thought, no not Theoden. Would have been odd for him to have a scottish accent while the rest of his people had british ones <p>[ August 18, 2003: Message edited by: Shy Hobbit ]
