most of the actors in Watchmen I don't even know, nor could i care to remember, besides the guy playing Rorscharch who also played the new Freddy Krueger (both roles which had the actor in masks most of the time, anyway)

LOTR was full of B/C-List actors like the guys playing the hobbits, Orlando Bloom who was fresh out of school or the guy who played Gimli. I'm not even sure Ian McKellen and Elijah Wood could be considered A-listers before Lord of the Rings.
I did recognize some of the actors in Watchmen, like Patrick Wilson who played Nite Owl who's also played in movies like Hard Candy. Billy Crudup who played Dr. Manhattan also played in my favourite Burton movie, Big Fish. Jeffrey Dean Morgan who played The Comedian was in P.S. I Love You.
Not that it matters much to me. I think they all did good roles, particularly The Comedian and Rorschach. The only casting I didn't like was Carla Gugino as Sally Jupiter, but it was a small part.
