Yup, I've heard about Stuart Townsend being ditched for being arrogant (good for him). But the role of Aragorn was originally offered to Daniel Day-Lewis (did I got his name right?). Unfortunately, Daniel was in Italy apprenticing for shoemaking (I think ).<P>I think Daniel would've been a great Aragorn. But Viggo did a great job, though I always remember his scenes with Gwyneth Paltrow hee hee hee
