Quoted from pinball_keefer:Fortunately on LOTR we were able to use any audio clip we wanted. Then we had the money to get 2 more people. Of course you're getting Elijah if you can. Our first choice for additional VO work was Hugo Weaving, he turned us down, as did #2 Ian McKellen. So we "wound up" with JRD who did a great job, of course.
Curious as to why you would have chosen Hugo over McKellen and JRD? Really would be interesting to hear how different LOTR would be with someone other than JRD doing all those great call-outs. Hard to imagine that anyone could have done a better job, even McKellen.
