Billy Boyd blew me away in this movie. He had more to work with, more screen time and more emotional moments, and he used them to their full extent.<P>I didn't mind the Palantír scene; it was a little more violent than I had imagined it, but Billy played it really well, especially the part after Gandalf takes it away from him where he talks about what he saw. But I think my favorite Pippin scene was the scene where he pledges his service to Denethor. It was never a move that I agreed with--putting yourself under the order of a quite emotionally unstable man--but I understand the emotion behind it, and Billy nailed it. Just nailed it.<P>He was one of my favorite actors in this movie...plus, he has such a beautiful voice! A friend told me he was in a band earlier, and I can believe it. What a beautiful song.
