First choice to be strider in Lord of the Rings?

Your question could be interpreted two ways. Viggo Mortensen is the actor whom portrays Strider in the Lord of the Rings motion pictures - Strider is the alias used by Aragorn, son of Arathorn and heir to the throne of Gondor when he is traveling as a Ranger of the North. He is also known as Estel to the Elves. Strider is a name given to Aragorn by men who know only his legend and not who he really is. Aragorn is a decedant of numenor; the island in which all of mankind in LOTR lived on until their ambition drove them away from the island. This explains his prolonged life, as the men of numenor lived well into their 300th years. (Aragorn is roughly 85 in the time that the LOTR trilogy takes place)
