Mudhooks: ,,, busier than a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest... Started conversation Jul 27, 2005
"Brent Carver has been cast to play Gandalf in the musical production of 'The Lord of the Rings' http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,163669,00.html (not to be confused with the Canadian Opera Company's production of Wagner's 'Ring' cycle http://www.ringcycle.ca/ which it innevitably resembles.)" c/o Anhaga...
This got me thinking. If you were to cast LOTR, who would be who?
Gollum: http://public.fotki.com/Mudhooks/my_stuff/just_plain_old_sill/gollum_gollum_1024.html

As though he were supposed to be clipping the grass below a window at Bag End while an interesting conversation is being carried on inside . . .
Sam doesn't seem to work for me.

"LOTR"... The one-man show, featuring Tom Waits as all 135 (I'm guessing) characters....

For Gollum? Steve Buscemi: http://www.imdb.com/gallery/granitz/2791/Events/2791/SteveBusce_Pimen_4260444_400.jpg?path=pgallery&path_key=Buscemi,%20Steve
Sam...huh.
how about Phillip Seymour Hoffman: http://www.imdb.com/gallery/granitz/1349/Events/1349/PhilipSeymourHoffman_Vespa_322129_400.jpg?path=pgallery&path_key=Hoffman,%20Philip%20Seymour
Aragorn would be the tough one, since Viggo Mortensen was so damned perfect (particularly when he was scruffy), but Hugh Jackman could carry it off, at least for a musical.

except that Hugh Jackman is not nearly tall enough....he'd be mistaken for a hobbit

In my version, I was going more for the humorous angle....
