Stuart Townsend

And also, the fact that he's not even trying, it makes me a bit nervous.

And can I say that we have punished men who weren't good enough to be Aragorn before? Because let's not forget that actor Stuart Townsend was on the set of The Lord of the Rings playing Aragorn when Peter Jackson said, hey, touch him on the shoulder.

It's not sexy enough, sorry.

It's not working.

It was an unequivocal hit and was nominated for two Oscars, the sets and the score.

Michael Reimer followed that up eight years later with Queen of the Damned with Aaliyah and Stuart Townsend.

He played Lestat that time.

Lestat.

and who can blame them who can blame them Callum what's your relationship with this just

before that I do want to take a moment for Stuart Townsend who played Lestat in the Queen of the Down movie moments over playing Lestat as a brunette

Like, the thing is that before Lestat is a vampire, he's a blonde man.

And I think that that's one of the things with Tom Cruise in this.

Armand's wig.

Like...

Stuart Townsend, though, also, if you'll recall on our Lord of the Rings Patreon bonus episodes, he was the guy that was originally cast as Aragorn and Peter Jackson sacked him very early into shooting and replaced him with Ego Mortensen.

He must have been Queen of the Damned.

I haven't.

With Aaliyah and Stuart Townsend, and it's just-

I think I've seen a clip of her in vampire garb.

It's fa- you know, it's crazy to think that Aaliyah died when she was 22, and she did so much before then.
