Yes! Finally, someone understands! put ALL gender restrictions away! lock them in a heavly locked closet! And, that is exactly WHY i would choose to play Boromir, the emotional complexity! always changing, new plots and turns! or you could say bi-polar... but not that in a bad way! I have asked my friend about this excluding all gender restrictions and the such, and she said that she would do anything to be a hobbit. When i asked her why, she said she had always wanted feet that large... strange reason? i think not. I asked her i could be her hobbit friend, but she replied that i was too much of an elf... that situation i cannot give you an answer that makes any sense... my friend is just like that. and that, for many reasons is why she's my friend.

I would like to have been Denethor. I want to understand him better.

If not Denethor, I suppose I'd make a good Eowyn, and an even better Faramir.

i would've been Faramir so i could have got a say in his lines and changed them.

Otherwise, Galadriel because i would be able to pronounce Earendil correctly and i think she was the female who kept most faithfully to the book.

Ah yes, that's why I would've enjoyed being an Istar, most likely Gandalf or even Radagast.

Playing Glorfindel wouldn't be bad either, he's so overlooked.

hehehehe That bugs me so much.

I say we start a Glorfindel fan club.

Gender aside, I would play...............Faramir, if I could be Book-Faramir, not Movie-Faramir.
In the movie, I guess I'd like to be..........Haldir: bow, Elvish, Galadriel, Helm's Deep, death scene...Yes, Haldir would be nice.

Hmm. Me as Boromir... (chuckle, chuckle.) I wouldn't mind having you as a father... just kidding! Besides, my hobbit-wanna-be friend said i'm too much of an elf anyway. In that case, if i was an elf, i would live in the Grey Haven... because i'm infatuated with the ocean. i think this is a fact since i am a serious Ictheofaegi ( Eater of fish...) Many other things i'm imfatuated with: deserts, ancient Egypt, golden bracelets, ABBA, being a scorpio, Octapus (eating it.), boats, Spongebob Squarepants, my laugh (which has been refered by a close friend as muderous), and many other stupid, useless talents I use and have... I think i've said too much... Okay, with that in mind, just ignore all the above useless junk of my life...

If we're talking dream character I'd have liked to be Frodo, but if we're talking what I actually could've done with my raw acting skills, I'd have to settle for something considerably less ...like maybe an orc extra or something .

Like Fingolfin above, I would have loved to have been Aragorn, mainly because he gets to french kiss Liv Tyler. I also would have forced Jackson to make more of the eternal love triangle with Eoywn as well......

I would have been Éowyn. Just her strength of character is so empowering to her character. Her complexity would have made her a fantastic acting challenge.
