Ian McKellan had a long career before Lotr.
Viggo Mortenson has gotten many roles since most of them unlike his role in lotr.
Orlando Bloom was also famous before lotr.
Sean Astin also famous before lotr.
Sean Bean also famous before lotr.
Cate Blanchett also famous before lotr.
Liv Tyler also famous before lotr.

I didn't say they weren't famous before LotR, I said they became known for one role. As in "now everyone thinks of them as that role".

I'd argue that of the ones you named, only Bloom and Bean actually got over it. Blanchett, too, but her LotR screen time wasn't even close to the others. I completely disagree with your assessment of Viggo's career, he's had nothing nearly as big ever since.

Also, Christopher Lee, Ian Holm, Andy Serkis, Dominic Monaghan, John Rhys-Davies...the casting call for LotR was practically its own red carpet event.

Lee and Serkis continued with great careers, too, but Lee was already not just famous but a mythical Hollywood figure and Serkis has mostly been mocap/CGI characters, so his appearance doesn't affect anything.
