Cast those "Other" Characters - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Thorgis: *sigh* I know... he was dead to me as another actor after the Bond movies. When I watched Pirates of the Caribbean, I thought "Look, Legolas the pirate". When I watched Hidalgo, I thought "Look, Aragorn the cowboy." Good movies ruin actors for different parts. They're just too ingrained now as the character instead of the person.

I think the biggest problem with casting Rickman is that he's too well known. Also it would bring up multitudes of dissent between HP and LotR fans, much like the Ian McKellen = Dumbledore thing. My reason for "casting" him as the Mouth of Sauron was purely humorous, based on his portrayal of the Voice of God in Dogma. As much as I love the guy's talents, I can't see him in a LotR or Hobbit movie.
