I heard somewhere that they originally offered Sean Connery the role of Gandalf - not that I have a thing against the man but thank Eru he declined so Ian McKellen could take it instead as I can imagine <B>NO</B> other as my favorite wizard!<P>I also heard that they originally turned Elijah Wood down for the role of Frodo as it seems his accent wasn't all that great - don't know who they originally had in mind to play Frodo through...
