Sean Bean not right for Boromir - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I was at the optition's to day, and some how or another the conversation turned into a discussion about the differences between the movies and the books. Well, my optition brought up the very good point that Sean Bean was not the best actor to play Boromir. Why, you ask. Well, the book describes Boromir as being shorter and broader than Aragorn, but Viggo and Sean are virtually the same build.

So, what do you all think about this?

However, I still think Sean did an excellent job of playing Borrums! I have to admit, that I saw FotR before having read the books, so when I read the books I already had a lot of the characters' appearances in my head from the film.

AAH! I didn't go crazy! Meh.
