If you could have played one of/or been the voice of one of the characters in LOTR, who would you have been?

I would have been Galadriel. She is by far my favorite character.

Elianna · 04-13-2004, 03:39 PM

I would've liked to be Éowyn because then I could say those great lines "Be gone foul dwimmerlaik..." and "...Begone if you be not deathless, for either living or dark undead, I will smite you if you touch him!"...............(and I'd get to kiss Faramir!, no! bad! I didn't say that!!!)

But with my acting skills, I probably would've been stuck with Random Elf/Hobbit/Rohirric Chic #2.

Pippin, but that would require a sex change. Ah! C'est la vie!

Yuck.

I'd probably chose to be one of the nameless Dunedain. Wait, do you mean the books, or the movie? In the books, it would be the Dunedain. In the movie? Agh! Probably either Aragorn or Boromir. Faramir? That'd be a tough one.

Characters from the movie,or characters that weren't in the movie that you would have played given the oportunity.

Knight of Gondor · 04-14-2004, 08:18 PM

Then I suppose it would be a combination of the two. To play a brave soldier who does not get a lot of heavy focus.

THE Ka · 04-18-2004, 06:00 PM

ooh , ooh ! i wanna tell i wanna tell! i would be BOROMIR! but, i can't , sadly , i'm not a man... sniff... sniff... but, i would like to have been Sean Bean's make-up artist or the designer for his costume... or, if there was a part, i would of liked to play his mother... but, i don't think she has any part in the movies because she isn't during the time of the fellowship... sniff, sniff. either that or Galadriel, but i have auburn hair... and i do not have melodic voice... but, i can make men cry...

and i would nake a good elf... i'm too tall, i'm a musician and artist, and i love trees. i hug two trees a week. just for my mother earth! ok. i'm sorry. too mush personal information...

Lhundulinwen · 05-22-2004, 08:12 PM

I've always liked *slightly* sicotic (so misspelled) characters, so gollum would have been cool. But any of the characters who got to speak in elvish would have been great, too. (cougharwencough) Third and 4th choice would be one of the riders of Rohan or an orc.

Kitanna · 05-22-2004, 09:08 PM

If I were a guy I would have played Pippin, only because I'm clumsy. Or Theoden because Theoden is the greatest man ever! So brave and wise and a down right good guy. But since I'm not a guy I'd be one of those random Hobbit lassies, because Hobbits rock my world.

Gil-Galad · 05-23-2004, 03:13 PM

the characters i think i could play weren't actually seen in the movie, but i feel like i could play them....Imrahil...he is so cool! since i'm kinda young to play a adult, i would say that Eric Bana might be a good choice for Imrahil...

I also would forced Jackson to make more of the eternal love triangle with Éowyn as well...

O for god sake, I think the last thing we need to lobby for is more of that

! (aside from the House of Healing, which I, or course, think are quite necessary to RotK) Not that I'm against romance (

), but I think we got entirely to much of Arwen, in TTT & RotK in particular. She managed to blend fairly well with the movie in FotR, but stuck out like a sore thumb in TTT & RotK. I especially wished Jackson had dropped the whole Haven idea if only so that Aragorn didn't have to be suprised by her at his crowning...although that scene wasn't as annoying as some of the others :/. I think they did Aragron & Eowyn's relationship pretty well, though. Anyway, I think to much was made of Arwen in the first place, or at least to much that they couldn't blend in well later on, so I don't need any more of it

Arwen is a little annoying at times, and has different sized nostrils! (please tell me someone else noticed that!).
The character I would like to be is not important, I'd just like to be a hobbit because they can eat so much all the time! 7, 8, 9 meals a day - wonderful!

Lady Gamgee · 07-27-2004, 09:14 AM

I would've liked to have been Arwen or Rosie. Arwen because, well, she loves & marries the king. And Rosie because of Sam. Sam is the sweetest & most humble character ... it would've been an honor to marry him
