Who do you think in the movies is the best looking?

You know...I can't call you Robi anymore....can I, but anyway I fell in love with Peregrin when I first saw the movies because of his character and his looks, but when I read the books I was even more crazy about him! But Billy Boyd when he's not playing Pippin is not as good looking.

But... people are going to kill me for this, Orlando Bloom is not so good looking when he's Legolas (which is a pretty respectable character in the books) or when he is someone else. My family, just by coincidence watched a bunch of movies with Orlio in them the other day and them more I see of him, the more I dislike him. Samwise is the way to go!

Tisk, tisk, not liking poor Legolas eh? Shame.

As for Billy Boyd, I DEFINITLY prefer him as Pippin, in real life he's just another pretty face. Ah, Pippin, I adore Pippin...not really sure why though.

What's not to like about Legolas? Ah well. The impossible stunts maybe. But if his hair was shorter, it would've been very different.

I remember confusing film Pippin and film Merry because "Merry" sounds like the better looking one. Many years later it was funny to notice that a friend called the guy in Lost Pippin. It nearly ended in a bet.

I got the radio production of LotR and I have been listening to it for a while and Pippin doesn't sound like Pippin to me and not as totally awesome, but maybe that is the fault of how Billy Boyd sounds and he is what I thougt Pippin should sound like. I don't know maybe I am just crazy!?

Is it the BBC radio dramatization with Ian Holm as Frodo?

Well Billy boyd sounds very Scottish - I guess he does come from the north of the Shire , but then they should have made Merry sound Welsh!

Bear in mind with the radio you have to do more with the voice and thay while I think Billy Boyd was the eldest of the actors playing hobbits in the film, they make far less distinction in age in the film than in the book and in the radio version. So on the Radio Frodo sounds older, Pippin very young, Merry scholarly, Sam rustic.

However this is off topic but I would be only too happy to discuss the Radio Series in a place that will not incur Modwrath.
