Brian Blessed would've made the best Tom Bombadil IMO. He's got the perfect voice, appearance, mannerisms, and weird whimsical childish aloofness that Bombadil has.
He's too old now, though, I'm thinking of 20+ years ago when they were doing the PJ trilogy, so JB would probably be a sound bet in any new adaptation.
I didn't know exactly, off hand who Brian Blessed was but immediately recognized him in a video and I totally agree with you he would have been perfect.
