*runs in a la Roadrunner* Sam fans? Oh yes, that definitely includes me. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Tigerlily Gamgee posted my favorite part of the books on the first page - Sam's song in Cirith Ungol. *sniffle* Amazing...
Sam is my favorite character in LotR. Brave, loyal, with a nice sense of humor, and he's just so... hobbity. And how can you not love a gardener who recites poetry? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
I think Sean Astin was the perfect choice for Sam. I saw the first movie before I read any of the books, and Astin just made me fall in love with the character. He's got that humble, hobbity (I need a new adjective for what I need to say in place of "hobbity" [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] ) image down-pat. He can go from wide-eyed gardener to loyal fighter perfectly, and yet he still retains that... hobbit-ness. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
