Those Cute Little Hobbit Children........

[Knight of Gondor]

I thought Henry was the kid receiving the battle-axe in the arming scene. But then again, I could be wrong.

Yeah, you got it right there. I didn't know that Haleth was Ms. Boyens' son, though. I didn't recognize those two little kids in Minas Tirith until my second viewing, though. I did not see PJ in RotK, but someone told me he actually did a little fighting. I did see him in Bree, and he also hurled a spear at an Uruk in Helm's Deep. (You can tell, because the camera makes sure to show us the result of the spear) I think cameos are interesting, actually. They don't ruin any realism for me. Anyone else feel different?

did I also see jackson's kids at sam and rosie's wedding?

ps unfortunately at these points (especially at bilbo's party and in the caves of aglarond) their faces bring me slap bang back to our 'earth'. I cannot 'forget' who they are, and it is off putting. away I go from middle earth, and it takes me a few minutes to get back into the swing of things... this is also the fact when I see jackson in bree, helms deep and on the corasir ship.

ps I was watching heavenly creatures the other day, and it looks like jackson plays a cameo in that film as well (a drunk outside the cinema). does he play a cameo in every film he makes?

My knowledge of the boys at Helm's Deep:
Haleth was Phillipa's son, but by the time they did the ADR, the boy's voice had changed so they had to get another person to do the voice.
The other boy by the fire was Viggo's son.

Peter's boy, Billy, was the only un-wigged Hobbit in the entire movie.

These bits of trivial trivia I've learned from the commentaries of FotR and TTT.

Billy and Katie Jackson are in the credits as "Cute Hobbit Children" in FotR, I don't remember what they were called in the other two.

I find it interesting that as a Hobbit-lass, Peter's daughter, Katie, is amazingly adorable, but as a Rohirric kid, she looks like Éomer... (my friend thinks so too)

Looked like Katie again at Sam and Rosie's wedding to me, but since I didn't see Billy and they were already Gondorian children when Faramir was riding to his doom, I'm not certain. You guys know?

ps Dern, am I on first-name basis with these people?............

I love cameos also. Another interesting Cameo is that Andy Serkis (I think that is how his name is spelled *Blush) is the guy at the very end of RotK carrying the pumpkin. He is everywhere.

Another really cool thing is: You know the scene in TTT between the three orcs at the point where they stop beside Fangorn Forest with Merry and Pippin in Tow,
" We've only had moggotty bread for three stinkin' days."
"Yea, why can't we have some meats?"
" What about them, they're fresh."
(Not exactly word for word, but you get the point) Anyway, those voices are all done by Andy Serkis. He sure likes to talk to himself, doesn't he?

ps I only saw PJ as a corsair in RotK, anyone see him elsewhere?

If I am not mistaken, J. R. R. Tolkiens grandson had a cameo. I believe he was a Gondorian ranger who was riding out with Faramir to challenge the witchking.

What! Do you mean Simon Tolkien? I recently read his first book. Top class, I enjoyed it.

WOW! I didn't even realize that they were the same kids! ha ha!
