How many folks have seen any of the LOTR actors in other movies? I confess, I'm not much of a movie goer (as you can tell from what I'm about to say), but aside from Sean Astin in Goonies and a chunk of Rudy (during which I kept thinking he just looked like a larger Mikey... I'm afraid I haven't seen anyone in anything. My LOTR-expert friend, with whom I went to see FOTR (see below)and has recommended The Bumblebee Flies Anywhere (with little Mr. Wood), but haven't been able to yet. (Below is what happened after seeing LOTR-FOTR for the first time....) ---------------------------------------------- My friend and I who went to see LOTR-FOTR the first time last December immediately after leaving the theatre went and hunted down a DVD of Goonies. Whoa....it was like going back in time, it was so wierd. HE (Sean Astin) WAS SO LITTLE!!!!! I found out recently that Sean Astin is about 3 months younger than I am... But he was little. (I remember thinking him to be about 10 then, when he was really 13.) It was so fun watching Goonies...and at one point--don't know if anyone recalls--when the kids are at the bottom of the wishing well..."Mikey" looked up at the camera, and the look on his face just made me bust out at the top of my lungs, "I made a promise, Mr. Frodo.....!!!!" It was hilarious. Anywho, I've rambled far too much. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> "When you're a Hobbit, you're always looking up." ~Sean Astin, Goonies DVD "It all starts here."- Mikey Walsh, Goonies <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>[ July 29, 2002: Message edited by: Samwise ]
