Were there any famous actors who wanted to be in the film and didn't get a look in? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I doubt Daniel Day Lewis would have wanted to have anything to do with the Lord of the Rings. The fact that he simply does not enjoy acting would not bode well for his chances of playing a part which would require him to do two straight non-stop years of it!<P>I heard a rumor recently which I had not heard before that Donald Sutherland was considered for the part of Denethor Steward of Gondor. Did anyone else hear about this?
