The Irishman was almost part of the Lord of the Rings box-office bonanza: he was cast as Aragorn but was replaced by Viggo Mortensen because of "creative differences" with the director. Townsend 29, called it a "nasty experience." quote from http://www.stuarttownsend.org/stubio In another interview: * He left the Peter Jackson production of the Lord of the Rings after just four days of filming. He maintains that he was mis-cast and was too young for the role of Aragorn. He was replaced by Viggo Mortensen.
