The first actors to show up in New Zealand were the four Hobbits, Orlando Bloom and Stuart: the rest joined later; so those six became a tight-knit group and Stuart and Bloom stayed friends. And no, the first scenes Viggo shot were the scenes in the Prancing Pony: all the “you draw far too much attention to yourself, Mr. Underhill” and stuff.
So you're telling us that Stuart Townsend got paid to train in swordfighting, horse riding, and archery for like 6 months. No, he wasn't paid, actually: "I was there rehearsing and training for two months, then was fired the day before filming began," Townsend told Entertainment Weekly.
The version of him that Louis portrays in his story, and let's be honest, Louis is kind of a little bitch when it comes to being a vampire. Then there's the one we see in The Vampire Lestat and Queen of the Damned. Having such a difference between the Cruise and Townsend portrayals just fit my internal image really well.

New Line Cinema thought he was too young. They wanted Russell Crowe. The character is a Númenórean who's been hunting orcs for 60 years. Jackson liked Townsends intensity and figured some grey makeup in his hair would work. Townsend refused to go to sword training and acted so anxious that Ian Mckellen asked is he even wanted to be in the movie.
What about Stuart Townsend for Sauron/Annatar? Discussion I mean this in all seriousness, not trying to rile anyone up or poke fun at old wounds (regarding his last minute replacement as Aragorn), and I realize that it might not even be anything that Townsend would be interested in (Ibid), but I just can't get the thought out of my mind that he ...
I’m seeing a mistake and wonder if it’s just something I haven’t gotten to yet. At a certain point, the Mayfair Witches file says that “for some twenty-five years, he [Stuart] was a devoted and conscientious member of the order…”, yet it also says that he was born in 1895, got involved with the Talamasca somewhere around 1917, and ...
