The movie series is going to make this poll lopsided. Legolas, played by Orlando Bloom who I'm told is "sexy as hell", is going to get a sickening number of votes simply because of the up-in-arms fangirls that come to his defense. In the meantime, Gimli is portrayed as a crotchety old man who's as ugly as sin and only good for comic relief, and Faramir is completely misconveyed alltogether. Remember in the books the line "I would not take this thing, even if it were but on the side of the road."? Now, he's just like his conspiring brother, Boromir, and would take the Ring by force! Yeah, the movies rocked, and Peter Jackson da man, but some of the major character personalities in this series are getting majorly skyewed or overshadowed!
Thus, my vote is cast for Faramir, son of Denethor, Steward of Minas Tirith.

One reason they changed Faramir in the movie is they felt it took away from the power of the ring if you had this one person that was totally unaffected by it. They were trying to show how evil the ring was and it diminished that by having Faramir say that line. Also, one of the reasons I think they left out Tom besides not having enough time.
