The Beatles negotiated with JRR Tolkien for the rights to star in a film version of the Lord of the Rings. John was to play Gollum, George Gandalf, Paul Frodo and Ringo Sam. "It was something John was driving at," director Peter Jackson told Total Film magazine, after McCartney told him the tale. "JRR Tolkien still had the film rights at that stage, but he didn't like the idea of the Beatles doing it. So he killed it."

I'm not sure I would have liked the idea of the Beatles version of LOTR...

You never know. It could have been good. They were good actors and John would never have done a botched job. Neither would Paul... he had a strong reputation in the scholarly community.

good actors?
What other movies were they in where they didn't play roles other than...themselves basically?

[ivybgreenflower]

Ok.
John was in the movie How I Won The War, and he played Musketeer Gripweed, and he was good, according to critics.
Ringo had a huge movie career, he acted in... a lot of films, lol, and he got good reviews too.
Paul wrote several movie/play scripts...
George was the one who sponsored the monty pythonish? movie The life of Brian.

But yeah, they were good actors.

The Life of Brian sounds familiar...

[ivybgreenflower]

It's a Monty Pythonish thing, and it's pretty famous, that might be why?
