I say that everyone turns out to be a hero because they all overcome their trials and temptations that the ring throws at them. I'd even go as far to say that Gollum is a hero in a small way, even if he didn't mean to be. In the end, Frodo gives into the temptation to claim the ring as his own and he refuses to destroy it. If Gollum hadn't have bitten of Frodo's finger and then fallen off into the Cracks of Doom, the ring wouldn't have been destroyed because the Nazgul were on their way to reclaim it.
