Some totally wrong 'Downers, anybody?
the Phantom as Sam.

the Saucepan Man as Denethor.

Diamond as Arwen.

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh as Bill Ferny.

I'm sure there are many others that could be come up with.

Truly, I wish nothing more than a cameo as Diamond. You know, at the end, at Sam's wedding, you all know that's Diamond Pip's grinning at!

*this moment of squeeing Pippin fangirlism brought to you by too many chocolate chip cookies*

Mithalwen those pictures are just horrifying. And hilarious. I particularly liked the duos of Merry & Pippin and Boromir & Faramir. Galadriel is the funniest. After clicking on the Gollum link I must go gouge out my eyes.

Not a clue.

But the visual humour... priceless.

Well of course I know who the Governator is, who can not know him?

And Roy Kinnear was Planchet in several Musketeer movies...don't know exactly which ones there are so many of them and all these spinoffs.

Everyone else I really have no clue, but the Aragorn guy looks familiar...so far can't pin him down.

How about Sean Connery as Saruman and Gandalf? "We should join with him my freind." "When did Sharuman the wise abandon reson for madness?"- Freaking hilarious. HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

Well done .... Roy Kinnear was such a wonderful actor that I feel a bit mean using him but he is very un-Sarumany. He would have been a perfect Ted Sandyman type - shifty but not exactly evil ....


Thanks Lal : I do seem to have revealed my affection for the "Carry on Films" ... just wih I had fitted Sid James in somewhere ... Guess he should be Celeborn to Babs's Galadriel.... I would point out that no particular affection attaches to the Chuckle Brothers...


As a side note, Richard O'Callaghan, who played Merry, in the Radio series, had roles in a couple of Carry Ons!!!! I do try not to think of that when I listen, since he ain't at all bad with a much more "bookish" approach to the role, but it may have caused this linkage...
