I don't think it would have been as good, and therefore as successful, without Vigo. Recasting Aragorn was 100% correct decision.

Eh neither Vigor nor Stuart really work for me as Aragon. To each his own.

 

[Zardnaar]

What mattered was Vigo was good. How famous he was was irrelevant.

"Megastars" are a liability.

He was good just thought he would be bigger. Orlando got Pirates of the Caribbean but kinda faded away.

 

[Paul Farquhar]

He was good just thought he would be bigger.

English isn't even his first language. You probably haven't seen most of what he has done.

Did you know that Michael Persbrandt, who had a hardly noticeable part as Beorn in The Hobbit is a megastar in Sweden? In Beck he was awesome.

Orlando's best role will always be teenaged stud being impaled by pitchfork in Midsomer Murders.

I thought he was better as comatose patient in Casualty.

No one cares about Swedish moviestars just like no one cares about NZ ones until they turn up in Hollywood.

Temuiera Morrison Jango/Boba Fett and Aquamans dad vs Dr Ropata and Jake the Muss.

People in their home country care. Which is the point: "A list" depends entirely on what country you are in.

It's also irrelevant. Good actor (or Medicare actor but right for the part - looking at no Orlando Bloom in particular) is what matters.

People didn't turn out in droves to see Iron Man because RDJ was famous (he wasn't then) they turned out because he was good.

It matters for international box office though. Sweden and NZ won't make or break the D&D movie or any other.

Star power not to relevant vs 20 years ago.

You don't need to be a great actor to be a draw though as long as you bring in the punters. Arnold says hi.

Plenty of actors don't hit the big time but skill wise can run rings around bigger stars.

 

[Paul Farquhar]

Arnold says high.

I'm not sure what point you are trying to make but Arnold's last movie was a flop.

He's not an A lister anymore that's why. He was never a great actor but was good enough in his niche.

But was a megastar at one point.
