I think the role of Gandalf was offered to Sean Connery but he turned it down. He also turned down the role of Morpheus in The Matrix.

yeah I heard that about Gandalf but never saw any confirmation on it from JAckson. that would have been different.

yes they offered it to him and he turned it down, it was also offered and GIVEN to Stuart Townsend and he actually filmed part of Fellowship but Peter Jackson felt he was too young for the role so it was given to Viggo

this is not photoshop

Wow. I can't believe Cage would turn that role down. But I'm so glad it ultimately ended up Viggo's, because I can't picture anyone else doing it.

Neither of those would have worked. I love Connery, but there's no way to could have pulled off either of those roles.

yeah no kidding. Im glad Cage did turn it down as well as Connery. Ive read the books and both Viggo and Sir Ian nailed those roles

I watch those scenes Stoltz filmed and it just doesnt work at all for me. I love Stoltz as an actor but that was weird to see

Viggo was def the way to go. Cage has the look, but the second he talks. Nope.

Chris, did I ever have you check out The Black Heart Procession? They are a little weird, but I dig 'em... You may as well.

I believe you did, but I don't remember what I thought of them.

Check out "Not Just Words", it is a more accesible track for them... If you dig that, then check out "The Spell" or "Tangled", he has so much emotion in his singing in those last two tracks, but they are a little odd to poeple who listen to more commercialized music, which you dont.

So just check 'em out again dammit.
