Daniel Day-Lewis was offered the role of Aragorn several times, but he turned it down. Unfortunately, Day-Lewis tends to be very picky about what roles he takes. He's only done four films in the last ten years. He would have been excellent in the role of Aragorn if he had taken it.

Manwathiel has just left Hobbiton.
when i first read the books i imagined him as a bit rougher looking than he was portrayed in the films, a bit older, more worn out looking.

And it would probably also have given him a good reutation (though I suppose he likes to be THE main character)
