Tuor of Gondolin · 09-09-2004, 08:47 PM

Per Danny DeVito references above:

Taxi cast
Reverend Jim---Legolas
Louie DePalma---Gimli
Latka/Vegas Vic--Smeagol/Gollum (my favorite casting)

Alex---Aragorn
Tony (Danza)---Boromir
Nardo---Eowyn
Simka---Galadriel or Goldberry (picture Carol Kane in her role as one of the ghosts in the movie Scrooged)

Princess Bride cast
Gandalf---Miracle Max
Eomer---Inigo Montoya
Fezzik (Andre the Giant)---Treebeard
Saruman---Vizzini
Arwen---Princess Buttercup
Elrond---Peter Falk (the grandfather role)
Mouth of Sauron---Count Rugen
King of the Dead---Prince Humperdinck (well, they were both a bit
not overly brave)
Wormtongue---The albino

I do think Billy Crystal could have maid an excellent Gandalf.

Gandalf - The guy who got killed first in Alien

I think that I should have been cast as Frodo. Peter Jackson should have consulted me before he made his film!

Tuor, I can see it now: Éomer confronting Saruman and saying, "Hello. My name is Éomer son of Éomund. You killed my cousin. Prepare to die!"

Personally, I think that Patrick Stewart would have made a good Gandalf. In fact, we could do up a whole Next Generation casting with no trouble (tribble?

) at all:

Gandalf - Captain Picard
Aragorn - Riker
Galadriel - Counselor Troi
Gimli - Worf
Elrond - Data
Frodo - Wesley Crusher
Sam - Jeordi
Merry - That guy who's always so nervous (what's his name again??)
Pippin - Alexander (Worf's son)
Boromir - Nameless Redshirt #37-J
Éowyn - Doctor Crusher
Saruman - Q

And if they ever do a live-action Hobbit, they have to (HAVE TO!!) get Brian Blessed as Thorin, John Rhys-Davies as Beorn (why pass up all that talent??) and Sean Connery as...some Dwarf, it doesn't matter which (perhaps Dáin), or maybe as Bard? And Christian Slater as Thranduil.
