Two Aragorns

[Ainaserkewen]

I love Stuart Townsend, he'll always be Lestat in my mind; the damnedest creature Lestat.

However, when I heard that he was the mysterious "original Aragorn" I flipped. I certainly could not see him in that role. Stuart had always been a bit of a sensual sex-god in all his roles. Aragorn as a character is no sex-god, much to many's contraversy. Stuart's acting is very detailed and precise, getting every movement, every quirk down flat. The ambiguous way he moves and even speaks is not the emotionally hardened character of Aragorn who is a man of action. Viggo, who plays a lot of heroes, played Aragorn very well as we can all agree. Viggo and Stuart are too completely different actors. Stuart was too young, whatever happend, he was not the same kind of seriousness as Viggo. Something only age can bring.
