Well, I generally think all the actors did very well in their roles, but I guess if we're talking about deserving <I>extra</I> credit, Sean Astin stands out in my mind. By now we've all probably read the account of his and PJ's differences of opinion over Sam's portrayal, and so I'm really glad we got an actor who was willing to stand up for his character (without getting kicked out of the production!) And the way he had to gain all those extra pounds? My goodness. And that time when he stepped on the shard of glass and impaled his foot? Ouch! He deserves all the credit in the world. Kudos!
