He would make a good.... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

On this thread, I would like to take the LOTR characters (could be Sil, or any other Tolkien work as well), and match them with an actor (someone who already hasn't played that person), some person back in history, a politician, just pretty much somebody famous so we know who he is. If you're confused here's some examples.

Legolas- Micheal Jackson
Denethor- Al Capone (See "A futuristic LOTR" thread for an explanation)
Boromir- Elvis Presley (Staying Alive! Staying alive!)-P.S. I hope Elvis is disco, lol.
Elrond- Agent Smith.

Hope you get the idea, and this is the ONLY wrong way you can do it. You can't say somebody who played that character in the movies, for example.

Merry-Dominic Monaghan

Witch-King- politician ( talk about scare tactics

)

Merry & Pippin- Baseball pitchers

Gimli- Professor (this section of the brain is called the 'nervous system')

Gah! *falls over* I really can't see that...

Elrond = David Bowie (see Crazy Scenes thread

)
Maglor = Agent Dafydd (and visa versa! ^_^)

And I'll agree with Morgy. I can definitely see Johnny Depp as Feanor. *nod nod*

Gimli: Brian Blessed. I know what you're thinking...but JRD is pretty tall, too.

Treebeard: Hayden Christenson. Insert your own wooden acting joke here.

Arwen: Keira Knightley. To be honest, any excuse.

Legolas: Will Smith. Just to see people trying to justify any objections would have been worth it.

Denethor: Liberace. Well, they were both flaming.

I must say I think Micheal Jackson is more suited for Grima, then Legolas. I just thought hey Legolas I imagine as pale, he sings, so is Micheal, there we go. But now that I think about it Grima is quite pale, he might be able to sing, and need I go on.
