Aragorn

This sort of crosses boundaries between the book and movie, but I just read an interview with actor Viggo Mortenson in which he said the key to the interpretation of his character, Strider/Aragorn, was that he finally realized Aragorn was afraid of his destiny.

I never once got that impression in the book. Cautious, yes, but afraid, no. Aragorn was just waiting for his time, for the right moment. He was willing to give his all when the chance came, but not until then was he willing to risk anything.

So, am I far off the mark?
