Uhm, that is incorrect. While Douglas was still alive he said it was the
only part that was _not_ hard to find an actor for, because it would
obviously be Stephen Moore.
But, actually, I would have thought I had greater problems with
Rickman's voice than is actually the case.

In the two thousand and fifth year of Bob, Kaare Fiedler Christiansen's
voice said the following, in wonderful perfect quadrophonic sound with
distortion levels so low as to make a man weep:

Yeah, but by "they" I'm not referring to Douglas Adams. Wasn't his first
choice for Arthur Hugh Laurie?

I think every character name he happened to name in conversation was
claimed to be a definite choice by him. If I'm not mistaken he never
claimed anything as definite as "first choice" for anyone _but_ Marvin.
I may be wrong though.
I am sure he was rather frustrated that anything he said was quoted as
definite choices, though. That is the source of the froups injoke about
Oprah Winfrey, actually. He made a post where he experimented with
saying "Oprah Winfrey will definately _not_ be playing Arthur Dent" to
see how the statement would return to him.
