Hello! I apologize for leaving you folks in the lurch. I get lost in this place since they changed the format.

Any way, according to what I've read (both in a magazine, and here), aside from stepping on the glass, Mr. Astin also:
  • Had an 80-pound statue or some such fall on his head while in Rivendell, knocking him unconcious. The lump that began to grow on his head actually started lifting his wig off.
  • During a swordfight, he had a tooth knocked out and requested that his tooth be glued back in so that they could finish the scene.

The last one I learned here in another quiz game. Elijah Wood said "He's incredible" and began to describe the incident. I remember wondering why "Sam" didn't just pack up and go home at that point.

Anyway, by my count, unless you folks would like to decide otherwise, Orcrist has given the most answers, so it's his go.

Can someone else just post a question, but if Orcrist turns up, he can post his question?

Question

...it's been a while since I've heard the exact rules, but I believe we have to wait 10 days to give the person a chance to answer, then someone else can.

Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.

The Saucepan Man has been trapped in the Barrow!
White-Hand That's quite right.

Orcrist has 10 days from the question being given to him to ask the next one. If hasn't done so after 10 days, anyone can ask the next question.

Thank you, kindly, Mr. Saucepan. Wasn't quite sure.

The Eye Sorry for the delay...

Name the place in New Zealand where Amon Hen, Nen Hithoel, and Fangorn were filmed.

I was looking for more of a general area. That might have been the lake, but I want a general area.
