The Hobbit : Dream Cast

[Sauron the White]

Lalwende ... no offense intended towards your father. At 74 he is in the prime of life compared to where people used to be fifty years ago. My remarks were geared for the standard applied to actors where age is not always considered an asset. Pity the poor actress who is considered over the hill and washed up once she hits forty.

I'm not sure which specific roles I would assign, but the cast should definitely include

Arnold Swarzenegger
Kevin Sorbo
Hulk Hogan
"The Rock"
Andre the Giant (so what if he's dead?)
Brian Bosworth
Chuck Norris
Jet Li
Jackie Chan
Possibly Bruce Willis- except sometimes he can almost, not quite, act.

And most definitely as Thorin: Martin Lawrence.
With Paris Hilton as the Elvenqueen. Or Pamela Anderson.

Ahhhh - I see someone has been dipping a bit early into the Christmas cheer and it has made them exceptionally happy!!!

Well Christopher Lee is now 85 and still going strong (and long may he continue - he reads Children of Hurin for the audiobook).

Age is only a concern to actresses really, who are chosen more for looks than talent unless they have the luck to be Judi Dench (who I hasten to add, is not bad for her age in looks too ). For actors, age doesn't matter.
