But sometimes not being more high profile is kind of the point? For highly escapist fantasy, you kind of want people who aren't necessarily super famous in other iconic roles because you don't always want that baggage. I mean, who the hell was Viggo Mortenson, right? They could've cast any number of more well known 30-40 something white guys, it's not like there's ever a shortage in the pool of Hollywood actors in that demographic.

Mira Sorvino as Eowyn might've been interesting, though. I never thought Miranda Otto seemed comfortable in that role.

ayrt

Neither was super iconic at the time, if I recall, just a little more well-known than Liv Tyler. I'm not sure you can argue that there wasn't a mix of higher and lower profile actors in the various roles, though, especially if you consider their profiles in their home countries, not just Hollywood.

My point was, they are both pretty good actors with a certain amount of notability and often when kicking around names for roles those qualities merit consideration.
