In the books, Frodo offers it to Gandalf, Aragorn, and Galadriel. All three decline, Aragorn didn't want to use that weapon, the other two essentially said they'd just become their own versions of Sauron.

Gandalf, Aragorn, and Faramir each briefly gain possession of the ring but quickly return it to Frodo without using it. Gollum, Frodo, and Bilbo are the only ones that use it during the trilogy timeline, though Gollum doesn't possess it.
