I'd pay to see Dane Cook as the minstrel of Gondor.

"HELLOOOO, FIELD OF CORMALLEN! This is my show, I'm on the drum in the deep! I'm on the drum! By a round of applause, how do you feel? Huh? So, how about this Frodo dude, huh? He got a Ring of power...man, I want a Ring of power! I want that! I'd put it on and be all invisible, and spy out all the la-dies, ya know, and I'd sneak up behind people and PWAM! *throws himself across the stage* And I'd walkaround going "Preciousssssssssssssssssss!! Precioussssssssss!" Yeah, I want a Ring of power! GANDALF, GIMMIE YOUR RING!" *He snatches it from Gandalf, rips his shirt off and runs screaming off the stage*

That would be hilarious.

Tom Hanks as Saruman
Jim Carrey as the Mouth of Sauron
Brad Pitt as Denethor

the Phantom as Sam.

the Saucepan Man as Denethor.

Diamond as Arwen.

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh as Bill Ferny.

I'm sure there are many others that could be come up with.

I'm not sure how to take that remark.... Is my bad fit as Arwen a good or a bad thing for me?

Truly, I wish nothing more than a cameo as Diamond. You know, at the end, at Sam's wedding, you all know that's Diamond Pip's grinning at!

*this moment of squeeing Pippin fangirlism brought to you by too many chocolate chip cookies*

Mithalwen those pictures are just horrifying. And hilarious. I particularly liked the duos of Merry & Pippin and Boromir & Faramir. Galadriel is the funniest. After clicking on the Gollum link I must go gouge out my eyes.

Not a clue.

But the visual humour... priceless.

Well of course I know who the Governator is, who can not know him?

And Roy Kinnear was Planchet in several Musketeer movies...don't know exactly which ones there are so many of them and all these spinoffs.

Everyone else I really have no clue, but the Aragorn guy looks familiar...so far can't pin him down.
