Daniel Day-Lewis was originally approached to play Aragorn, but he refused the part. Stuart Townsend was cast in the role, but let go after the producers decided he was too young for the part. Viggo Mortensen was eventually cast.

Stuart Townsend. Stuart was part of the production for two months before Peter Jackson thought he was too young for the role, and brought Viggo Mortensen in at the last minute.

Is Aragorn awesome?

If you think he is, then, yes! It doesn't matter who or what they are, if you think they're awesome, then they are. Aragorn becomes king at the end of the third book, and that's awesome. Unless you don't like being king. In one of the books Aragorn makes Eowyn cry; and that's not so awesome... even though he needed to break up with her eventually anyway... Aragorn is loyal and protects Frodo, and that's really awesome. Aragorn's hair is only seen brushed once, and only in the last movie when he becomes king. That's not so awesome unless you like his messy hair (I actually think it looks weird brushed). Obviously Arwen thinks he's pretty awesome. So I guess it depends on your own veiw on whether or not you think Aragorn is awesome. Is the actor of Aragorn awesome? I don't know because I have never met him. But I assume that he is pretty awesome.
