Lord of the Rings Vintage TV Recast - Gollum
You're traveling through another dimension - a dimension in which director Peter Jackson is currently getting ready to direct one of his biggest film projects to date, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. He has decided to cast beloved actor, John Astin, of The Addams Family fame, as Gandalf the Grey.
Inspired by this singular casting decision, Peter Jackson and the film's producers have decided to cast The Lord of the Rings films entirely with other vintage television actors. They've entrusted the process of casting for the film to whom they believe will make the perfect decisions: the tumblr userbase.
Each actor will be taken from places in the prime of their television career (as pictured). A common practice in this strange alternate dimension.
You are now the new casting director for The Lord of The Rings. Who will you choose?
