Townsend wouldn't have made a very good Aragorn, IMO, so I am glad that he got canned. The story that I heard was that Townsend actually got into a fight/heated discussion with PJ on the first day of filming because he (Townsend) thought that Aragorn should have a bigger role, so PJ cut him. Viggo got a call the next day asking if he would come to NZ for a year and play the pard of Aragorn. "A year.....that's a long time. Can I have a few days to think about it?" "You have 24 hours and then we expect a response" was pretty much how the conversation went. Viggo's son said, "DAD!!!! IT'S LORD OF THE RINGS!!!!! YOU HAVE TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!" So he went, and the rest is history!
