11. Stuart Townsend
Viggo Mortensen is the actor who plays Aragorn in the Lord of The Rings trilogy, but the role originally belonged to Stuart Townsend. Townsend spent 8 weeks learning sword fighting in order to be memorable in the role, but before the first day of filming, he was abruptly fired from the movie. Apparently, Stuart Townsend looked too young for the role of Aragorn. This is still baffling to Lord of The Rings buffs. After all, both actors look youthful, and the studio shouldn’t have let Townsend train for the role if his place in the movie wasn’t set in stone.
