Michael Pennington was casted as Legolas
Derek Jacobi was cast as Sam
Roy Doctrice was cast as Bilbo
Ian Holm was cast as Frodo
Maggie Smith was cast as Galadriel
Diana Rigg was cast as Arwen
Camfield wanted Ralph Richardson as Gadalf. He was the First choice of Director Micheal Mann and would make the perfect Gadalf. But Richardson would refuse again.
So actor Christopher Lee would for a second time play Gadalf.
His Hammer Co Star Peter Cushing would play Saruman.
John Hurt would be cast as Gollum
Julian Grover would appear as Theoden
Patrick Troughton as Grima Wormtongue
Robert Hardy was cast as Denethor
Peter Wyngarde was cast as Boromir
Richard Johnson as Faramir
Please check out the time line for the background of the series and let me know what you think.
