Sean Bean not right for Boromir - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I am amazed that someone would have a problem with an actor portraying a part because he was not bulky enough, or a couple of inches too tall??
The acting is paramount and Sean Bean was fantastic. The only character actually better than the book, although Ian McKellen certainly matched the book.

I have more of an issue with Viggo. He did ok but he never really seemed regal or venerable enough for my tastes. There is a rumour the part was offered to Daniel Day-Lewis and I for one would have loved to see his take on it. Last of the Mohicans proved he can do the physical stuff.
