If I remember correctly the fantasy casting session struggled to find a role for such an elderly person.
My suggestion is Beor on his death bed. According to the book Beor was 49 when he met Felagund and died at 93. Playing Beor at 49 would be a bit difficult but skip a few years to 93 and he is our man.
