Lord of the Rings Vintage TV Recast - Faramir

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?

We have also begun to understand how overwhelming experiences affect our innermost sensations and our relationship to our physical reality—the core of who we are. We have learned that trauma is not just an event that took place sometime in the past; it is also the imprint left by that experience on mind, brain, and body. This imprint has ongoing consequences for how the human organism manages to survive in the present. Trauma results in a fundamental reorganization of the way mind and brain manage perceptions. It changes not only how we think and what we think about, but also our very capacity to think.

Ted Bessell Vs. Dick Van Dyke

Propaganda

Ted Bessell - (That Girl, It's a Man's World) - He was so cute as Marlo Thomas's awkward, perpetually cock-blocked by network censors, boyfriend on That Girl. Also good in It's a Man's World, a one season wonder that was one of television's first attempts at a found family show, about three 20-something men raising a kid on a houseboat.

Dick Van Dyke - (The Dick Van Dyke Show, Diagnosis: Murder, The Carol Burnett Show) - First of all he’s a hilarious comic: he has impeccable comedic timing and his physical comedy talent remains one of the best of all time. Second of all he can dance AND sing AND act— truly a renaissance man. (He is one Oscar away from an EGOT, which is very cool!) Also, those eyes and dimples? There’s a reason he’s so shippable with everyone from Julie Andrews to Mary Tyler Moore: he’s a certified cutie! His looks combined with his talents and personality definitely make him THE hottest vintage TV man.

Dick Van Dyke:

That twinkle! The physical humor! The wholesomeness! I love this man!

Rob Petrie (his character on the Dick Van Dyke Show) is one of the few good sitcom husbands. he's good at his job, he talks issues out with his wife and stands by her, and he's genuinely very funny and lovable. and that's not even getting into how brilliant his physical comedy is

His smile is charming his swag is unparalleled he plays a devoted tv husband and there’s nothing hotter than making me laugh
