Actor's Quotes - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

vanwalossien · 08-05-2002, 07:38 AM

OK, here's some quotes from the actors of the movie, can anyone guess who said:

"These things are like boats with toes on them!" (on the fake hobbit feet used in LOTR)

" - doesn't speak a lot - - prefers to let his actions speak for -. -'s moves are smooth and elegant, like a cat. You know how cats can jump and land steadily on their paws? That's what I'm trying to do. There's a strength in that, but it's very balletic. It's also bloody hard to do without falling over!" (on his/her charcter's movements)

" To play one of the main characters in it, it's not the kind of thing you don't do. Oh, I'd rather not play - in Lord of the Rings..., In fact, what else would you rather do, you know? I can't actually think of another job that I'd rather do."

merlilot · 08-05-2002, 10:32 AM

1. I have no idea. Ian Holm, aka Bilbo. He didn't particularly care for the feet.

2. This is Orlando. And I know it is Orlando because he said this or something very similar in the Official Movie Guide. (Umm. Yeah, I have it memorized, almost...)

3. No clue. But I am guessing it was one of the guys who played hobbits: Elijah, Dominic, Billy or Sean.

I have some, but I will wait for these to be cleared up before I post.

Lothiriel Silmarien · 08-05-2002, 11:56 AM

Oh oh! I remember seeing or hearing that somewhere. Forget who said it though...um...I think it was Ian Holm.

vanwalossien · 08-07-2002, 04:41 AM

Merlilot's right. 1=Ian 2=Orli 3=Billy

Lothiriel Silmarien · 08-07-2002, 09:00 AM

There were 2 more quotes?! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] Man, I must be stupid!! I thought they were your signature! And I knew them both too! Oh well, Merlilot got them first anyway so it doesn't matter.

vanwalossien · 08-09-2002, 07:44 AM

Well, this isn't really a qoute, it's Peter Jackson's decription of one of the actors.. Who is PJ talking about?

"He's the only actor I've ever met who has had his tooth knocked out by a sword while shooting a scene, and afterwards ask us if we can put it back with superglue, so he can finish the scene!"

Melephelwen · 08-09-2002, 12:12 PM

Viggo Mortensen aka Aragorn [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Quote:

"I was told I had to gain a lot of weight because Hobbits are very portly. Peter is forever suggesting I have more food. 'A little more shepherd's pie for Mr. X.' "

Sorry, I couldn't wait with this one [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] *in a very very sweet and innocent voice* you're not mad, are you??

Was that said by Samwise's favorite little hobbit himself? (I'm talking about Samwise who made this topic [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]) But anyway, was that said by Sean A.?

vanwalossien · 08-10-2002, 06:13 AM

yes.. Sean Astin said that..

Samwise · 08-12-2002, 08:34 PM

Yeah, the poor guy! I always wondered why they didn't try to fatten Li'l Mr. Wood up! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Judging from more recent pictures of 'Lil Mr. Wood, I think they did. His face was meatier as Frodo, even though he was basically slender. But he looks even thinner now. Bony-faced.

Samwise · 08-12-2002, 09:27 PM

Hm. Maybe a tad....
Anywho, I'm off topic, I apologize. Someone post a quote! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

vanwalossien · 08-13-2002, 01:22 AM

Quote:

"I don't care much about the money at all. Frankly, if I get the chance to kiss someone in a movie, they wouldn't need to pay me at all."

On his salary in movies...

Samwise · 08-13-2002, 01:05 PM

Dominic Monohan (sp)? Or maybe Billy Boyd?
Or, when he was much younger, Sean Astin?

Quote:

"Swans!" said Sam. "And mighty big ones, too! "

Joy · 08-13-2002, 10:13 PM

That last one was Orlando Bloom. I remember this from one of his fan pages.

Sorry, I don't have a quote though.

Samwise · 08-13-2002, 10:18 PM

Hi, Joy! Long time no talk! I don't know too many quotes, either, but here's one that I have:

Quote:

"I don't know about you, but--if you can get a hold of some of these things--books, lima beans--whatever--I recommend 'em. "

vanwalossien · 08-14-2002, 04:02 AM

I have no idea, Billy?

Samwise · 08-14-2002, 03:51 PM

Nope. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Melephelwen · 08-15-2002, 07:27 AM

I have no idea for the quote, Dominique Monaghan?
Anyway, I wanted to ask, Samwise, on the picture in your last post I can see parts of those bubbles, you use to tell speach in f.ex. cartoons. Where did you find the pic, and what are Frodo and Sam saying? Just curious... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

08-15-2002, 02:16 PM

let's see....ok I know this is pathetically easy, but it's all I can think of right now:

Quote:

...may it be a light to you when all other lights go out....

Lothiriel Silmarien · 08-15-2002, 02:39 PM

Galadriel when she gave 'the Light of Earendil' to Frodo in Lothlorien.

Welcome to the Downs, by the way! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Samwise · 08-15-2002, 03:32 PM

Quote:

Where did you find the pic, and what are Frodo and Sam saying? Just curious...

Oi...the link to that pic was originally posted by Raefindel in the Funny Pictures thread . I thought the joke was in kinda bad taste myself, but that the looks on "Sam and Frodo's" faces were priceless, not to mention unusual, so I copied the pic and doctored it a tad.

Quote:

"They're Elves," said Sam. "Can't you hear their voices? "

08-15-2002, 05:03 PM

I've already been to the Downs for I while, now here's another qoute:

Quote:

what have I got in my pocket?

Samwise · 08-15-2002, 05:08 PM

quote
---------------------------------------------
I don't know about you, but--if you can get a hold of some of these things--books, lima beans--whatever--I recommend 'em. "

Okay, here's a hint: The speaker of this quote has an exteeeemmmeeeeely cute adorable girl munchkin.

Lothiriel Silmarien · 08-15-2002, 06:14 PM

Daughter of Galadriel, that'd be Bilbo, and Samwise, I know yours! It's Sean Astin of course!! Yeah he does have a cute little munchkin, doesn't he!

Samwise · 08-15-2002, 06:19 PM

LOL--I knew that'd be too big of a hint. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Quote:

"Yes, they are Elves," said Legolas, "and they say that you breathe so loudly that they could shoot you in the dark."
Sam hastily put his hand over his mouth.

Samwise · 08-27-2002, 11:36 PM

Hm. It's been over a week. I'd like to post another quote just to put this back up to the top.

Quote:

"The 'Hollywood touch' would be quite wrong for this picture. Tolkien was writing about a different world, a different land, a primitive land and a primitive time in history. New Zealand--breathtakingly beautiful--is just perfect for that."

Who said it?

vanwalossien · 08-28-2002, 11:24 AM

Isn't that from the DVD? I think Elijah said it, but I'm not sure..

Samwise · 08-28-2002, 11:33 AM

(Wishing she had a DVD player) Nope, and nope. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Lothiriel Silmarien · 08-28-2002, 04:50 PM

Peter Jackson? Um...Viggo Mortensen?? Sorry, btw. I didn't realize that it was my turn!

Samwise · 08-28-2002, 10:20 PM

*That's okay, Lothriel. It's easy to get caught up in other stuff.

Nope, and nope...and I'll tell you right now, it's NOT Sean Astin! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Ringwraith Number Two · 08-29-2002, 05:14 AM

Hmm...could it be Ian McKellen?

Melephelwen · 08-29-2002, 07:52 AM

Cate Blanchett??

Lothiriel Silmarien · 08-29-2002, 08:30 AM

Sean Astin was going to be my next guess! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Ok, well I'll pick my favorite hobbit man then! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Was it Billy???

Samwise · 08-29-2002, 11:53 AM

Oh, dear....nope, nope, and nope. I guess, (given his character, maybe?) one might not expect a comment like that out of him? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Lothiriel Silmarien · 08-29-2002, 01:36 PM

Was it Christopher Lee? Sean Bean? Oh I know! That guy in the metal armor, oh Sauron! Yeah that's the guy. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Samwise · 08-29-2002, 01:56 PM

Nope. You folks are running out of actors.

Lothiriel Silmarien · 08-29-2002, 05:17 PM

The guy who played Ugluk. Or that cute little ferret on some guys shoulder at Bree [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Ok, last guess. Was it Dom Monaghan?

Ringwraith Number Two · 08-30-2002, 04:30 AM

Our favourite little Took, Billy Boyd?

vanwalossien · 08-30-2002, 10:33 AM

Well, Samwise, you're right, we're running out of actors.. I don't think anyone has suggested Orlando, so I do...
