The Aragorn Casting That Almost Went Wrong When casting The Lord of the Rings, director Peter Jackson initially chose Stuart Townsend to play Aragorn—so much so that he filmed for a full day in costume. But the fit wasn’t right, and with production already underway, Jackson made a last-minute call to Viggo Mortensen. Encouraged by his son, Viggo said yes, flew to New Zealand within days, and turned the role into one of the most iconic performances in modern movie history. | Did You Catch This?

I think it’s common knowledge now that Stuart Townsend was originally cast as Aragorn in The Lord of the Rings. He trained for about two months but was replaced just before filming began because director Peter Jackson felt he was too young for the role. Viggo Mortensen was approached as a last-minute replacement - he had never read the books. His son, a fan of Tolkien, convinced him to accept the role. Mortensen flew to New Zealand and started filming the next day after agreeing. | Cinneman
