Brad Dourif also played the lead in a low-budget film version of Flannery O'Connor's "Wise Blood." From the out-there Southerner preaching the Church of Christ Without Christ to Wormtongue is...a long way . This movie was made about twenty-five years ago.<P>Viggo Mortensen - who can forget the Blouse Man in "A Walk On The Moon"? It was sort of amusing to see this itinerant late-60s guy suddenly turning into Isildur's Heir, but hey, he was good. <P>Ian McKellen - Amos Starkadder the Preacher (leader of the Quiverers) in "Cold Comfort Farm." (Hmmm, I'm sensing a crazy-preacher theme here). Best line: "BUT THERE IS NO BUTTER IN HELL!" Second best line: "You'll all burn." Hilarious. Also totally unrecognizable without the beard. <P>Strange to say, I've never seen Elijah Wood or Sean Astin in anything else, which is just as well for the LOTR experience . My parents were fairly strict about movies, and by the time they loosened up I'd passed the age where I wanted to see, say, "Flipper" or "The Good Son" - and to this day I've never bothered.
