Written late at night by someone who should be sleeping:

The Top ten rejected actors for Aragorn
(Dedicated to Stuart Townsend; with notes from Peter Jackson's confidential memoranda)

10. Emeril Agasse - Can't stop shouting BAM! whenever he stabs a bad guy
9. Leo DiCaprio - Need someone taller than Liv (Fran, retest him for Pippin)
8. Keanu Reeves - Keeps shooting Elrond for some reason
7. Bruce Willis - His Elvish sounds suspiciously like Pig Latin
6. Kevin Kline - Demands clarification over moustache/no moustache issue; completely confused by stubble
5. Laurence Olivier - Apparently unware he's dead
4. Jim Carrey - Bugging eyes and lolling tongue out of mouth like a cartoon character wrong reaction to death of Gandalf
3. Andy Serkis - Can't understand a word he's saying (Note to Fran - maybe we can palm off some some voice work on him?)
2. William Shatner - Thought he was playing Ar, a Gorn; did nothing but bare his teeth and growl into a microphone

And the Number One Rejected Actor for Aragorn:

1. Renee Zellweger - Too eager to be licked by Brego the horse

Top Ten Rejected Actors for Samwise Gamgee

Top Ten Rejected Actors for Samwise Gamgee

10. Christopher Walken: His age was suspicious; what would a old Hobbit want with a young one? :wink:
9. Mike Meyers: Kept talking in a Scottish accent which distracted and confused everyone.
8. Patrick Stewart: His Shakespearean diction interfered with the Hobbit Slang pronunciations.
7. Richard Gere: Samwise doesn't tap-dance.
6. Jared Leto: Was off doing some side-projects; would have left Frodo alone.
5. Eric Szmada: Is already cute and cuddly on CSI; also, would use advanced investigation techniques to destruct ring within 24 hours.

3. Cathrine Zeta Jones: Too boyish.
2. Eminem: Considers JRR Tolkien books to be bad influence on vunerable adolecents.
1. John Travolta: Disco Frodo has left the building.
