Well, put hair on his head. :-, He's got the look of someone who's
being driven by something in his past, something haunting him... I dunno how
he'd do with a sword in hand though. Aragorn needs to be able to handle a
sword. And Aragorn's actor absolutely needs to carry that scene where he bids
farewell to Boromir. This scene will make or break the character.

Aren't either of these weasly enough? How about that first one? :-D
Seriously, I think Gene would give gobs of good (for the audience) character
to Gollum. Ooh! Ooh! Mel Brooks!

For me, it's always been Penn Jilette ooh-ing and ahh-ing over her in the back
of PC Computing.
