Actor's Quotes

[Lyta_Underhill]

Sorry to be a little late on the comeback for another quote! I didn't have much time to look around, so it probably won't be very hard. Here goes!
I've got my feet, got my wig, got my ears, got my dirt...I'm ready to go.

Cheers!
Lyta

[Carlas]

Dominic Monahagn?

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

That would be Elijah Wood on the "Day in the Life of a Hobbit" special feature on disk two of the Appendices of the FOTR:EE DVDs. Go me. Sorry to show off a little there, but I had to prove that I knew exactly where the quote came from. smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Lyta_Underhill]

Elijah it is! Luthien, the turn is yours! ( Next time, maybe I'll have more time to sniff out a difficult one, but I had that one memorized, 'cause I like it!) smilies/wink.gif

Cheers,
Lyta
P.S. I am a cheapskate and don't have a DVD player or any DVD's, but it is tacked on to the end of the 2nd VHS tape of FOTR:EE as well, and is the only one of those extra features I've seen.

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Okay, now what quote to use? I'll have to refer back to my list of quotes to use.....

Here goes: a completely random remark...

I love tea.

[Samwise]

Eh...?

Sir Ian Holm?

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Good guess, but no. You're on the right track, though.

[Samwise]

Uh......
Sir Ian McKellen?

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Nope, wrong right track. smilies/biggrin.gif

[Gorwingel]

Well I guess I will guess...
Christopher Lee?

Is it one of the older guys?

[Evisse the Blue]

Is it one of the English guys? Dom maybe?

[Daewen]

Is it Billy?

[Eruwen]

How about Sean Astin?

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Evisse's got it. It's something only an Englishman would really say at random. Apparently Dom was drinking tea during the TTT commentary.....

[Gorwingel]

Gosh, I should have known that smilies/frown.gif
Actually now I remember hearing it!
It does most definitely sound like some random thing that only Dom would actually think of saying.

<font size=1 color=339966>[ 1:21 AM January 23, 2004: Message edited by: Gorwingel ]

[Evisse the Blue]

yes, Dom is the source of many random sayings smilies/biggrin.gif

Ok - next quote: who, about whom:
I'd rather kiss a horse.

[Lyta_Underhill]

Billy again! smilies/biggrin.gif (That crazy hobbit is always amusing!)
Cheers!
Lyta
P.S Forgot to answer the second part: about Viggo, when asked what other parts he'd like to play...he said Arwen, 'cause she gets nice frocks and gets to lie down a lot...but he'd have to kiss Viggo, and ...you know the rest!

<font size=1 color=339966>[ 10:36 AM January 23, 2004: Message edited by: Lyta_Underhill ]

[Evisse the Blue]

Right again, Lyta! You sure know your hobbits! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Lyta_Underhill]

Thanks, Evisse! Although, Luthien's quote was a doozy, hobbit or no! I say that myself sometimes, and I'm not even British! Now for a new one:
...the older I get, the more certain I am of the presence of evil, and sometimes I -- no, that’s not true. I do believe in the existence of good -- manifest good.

Cheers!
Lyta

[Samwise]

As usual, no clue.

Ian McKellen?

[Gorwingel]

Viggo?

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

That sounds suspiciously like something Sean Astin would say.... Although I doubt that we'd be continuing our recent Astin-quote mania, but you never know.....

Luthien's quote was a doozy, hobbit or no!

Was it? I'm strrangely flattered.
smilies/biggrin.gif

[Lyta_Underhill]

Sorry, not Sir Ian McKellen, nor Viggo, nor Sean...and by the way, Luthien...I love tea! smilies/wink.gif (Told you I said it!) smilies/biggrin.gif

Cheers!
Lyta

[The Saucepan Man]

Christopher Lee?

By the way, not all of us Brits are die-hard tea drinkers. I loathe the stuff myself. smilies/tongue.gif

[Lyta_Underhill]

Sorry, not Chris Lee either! Anyone want a hint?
Saucepan Man, I understand about the odd man out on the drink preferences. I'm one of the few people I know who HATE most commercial soft drinks, especially Coca-Cola. Jasmine or Green Tea is my favorite, though. Oddly enough, a cup of hot green tea is most refreshing after 8 hours of working out in summer heat.

This bit of tea trivia brought to you by Lyta Underhill, who heartily recommends 4 o'clock teatime, just because that's the time that energy wanes and my endless hobbit appetite reasserts itself...

This wasn't supposed to be a treatise on tea, now was it? Anyway, not Chris Lee, not Viggo, not Sir Ian McKellen, nor Sean Astin.

Finally, the hint that will narrow it down: it is one of the Fellowship.

Cheers!
Lyta

[The Saucepan Man]

John Rhys-Davis, then?

Actually, I love Coca-Cola, but my dentist has forbidden me to drink it. smilies/frown.gif And red wine too. Then again, I'm ignoring that second bit. smilies/wink.gif

[Evisse the Blue]

it's Elijah

(oh, and I'm a tea lover myself! smilies/smile.gif )

[Lyta_Underhill]

Saucepan Man has it! It was John Rhys-Davies in an interview for hollywoodjesus.com . The entire thing can be found here: John Rhys-Davies Interview (http://www.hollywoodjesus.com/lord_of_the_rings_interview.htm)
Cheers!
Lyta

P.S. If I went to a dentist, I'm sure he or she would forbid all the coffee and tea I drink and all the sugar I put in them...so I don't go! smilies/wink.gif And I prefer hard cider in the line of harder beverages...red wine is too much for me, usually! smilies/eek.gif (Funny how this is turning into the "what'll you have?" thread as well as the Actor's Quotes Quiz thread! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

This bit of tea trivia brought to you by Lyta Underhill, who heartily recommends 4 o'clock teatime, just because that's the time that energy wanes and my endless hobbit appetite reasserts itself...


So much fun! I've actually had high tea before. Scones and all. Even though I'm not a Brit. So I can honestly say that it's a custom I admire very much. The English should be commended for finding a reasonable way to squeeze another meal into the day. smilies/wink.gif

And I must admit, I love tea, too. Green tea with no sugar. I'm kind of weird that way, I get it from my mom. But any kind of tea's cool, as long as it's not pear vanilla or something unearthly weird like that.

But my favorite drink would have to be water. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the next quote, Saucepan Man.

[The Saucepan Man]

Ah, tea - as in the meal. Well, that's different. I'm a great fan, only I have it with coffee. smilies/rolleyes.gif If you're ever in the West Country of England (Devon/Cornwall), I would heartily recommend trying a cream tea. smilies/cool.gif smilies/smile.gif

Next quote:

I want to do comedy at the moment, comedy, and some action stuff and martial arts. I want to do martial arts as well.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Sala Baker.

[The Saucepan Man]

Gosh, that was quick. I thought that it might be a difficult one, but I suppose I should have known better than to pick an interview that was published on ToRN.

Your turn, Mariska. smilies/smile.gif

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Yeah, and I believe I used that same interview sometime ago for this very game... smilies/wink.gif

We sat around laughing and drinking and listening to music, and Barry Osbourne's there and telling us old Hollywood tales. It was a really amazing night and one of the memories I cherish the most.

[Eruwen]

I think I have an idea at who this is, and just to see if I'm on the right track, I'm guessing Dom...my usual one.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Nope, not Dom...

[Eruwen]

Ok then, was it Elijah?

[Mariska Greenleaf]

No, not Elijah either... smilies/wink.gif

[Eruwen]

Hmm...well, I know I've heard the quote before, I just can't remember who said it. It seems like it was on the FOTR EV DVD. Maybe...Sean Astin?

[Lyta_Underhill]

Karl Urban! smilies/smile.gif
Cheers,
Lyta

[Samwise]

David Wenham?

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Billy Boyd?

[Mariska Greenleaf]

The Haunted Halfling has it!

[Lyta_Underhill]

Thanks, Mariska! smilies/smile.gif Now on to the next quote:
Professionally they are both mavericks. Their prime aim is to work well on worthwhile projects. They do not suffer fools, even though they are themselves brilliant fools, clowns.
Extra points to the one who guesses not only the speaker, but the two being spoken of! smilies/wink.gif (Not that I have any way to give "extra points")!

Cheers,
Lyta

[Eruwen]

Well, the only two I can think that someone would join into the same category would be Chris Lee and Ian McKellen, but as for who said it...I'm lost. Possibly Dom? He says "brilliant" a lot.

[Samwise]

Hm...no clue, so I'll just go with my standard guess, Sean Astin. As for who it's about, it makes me think of Dom and Billy.... smilies/wink.gif

[zb]

I'm thinking a "serious actor" (if you get what I mean...) Ian McKellen?

[Lyta_Underhill]

Sorry, Eruwen, Samwise, the speaker is not Dom, nor is it Sean. The two spoken about are not Ian McKellen and Christopher Lee, nor are they Dom and Billy. EDIT: zb swooped in and got it right, after I had already posted! The speaker is indeed Sir Ian McKellen! (Now, who is he talking about?) Anyway, the turn goes to zb, no matter what now! But those extra points are waiting! smilies/wink.gif

Cheers,
Lyta

P.S. I love the idea of the "standard answer", Samwise! That's one reason I decided NOT to use a Sean quote I came upon earlier... I knew you guessed Sean as a matter of course! I couldn't make it TOO easy! smilies/tongue.gif

<font size=1 color=339966>[ 8:21 PM January 27, 2004: Message edited by: Lyta_Underhill ]

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

We really have developed standard answers here.... Eruwen guesses Dom, Samwise guesses Sean A., or else I jump in and guess him before she gets here. smilies/biggrin.gif Then I take one of the other hobbits, and everyone else proceeds to guess the older actors who played men, rather than hobbits. Identifiable guessing trends. Weird. smilies/eek.gif

<font size=1 color=339966>[ 11:21 PM January 27, 2004: Message edited by: Luthien_ Tinuviel ]

[Samwise]

*Reading the above two posts, chuckles to herself...*

No, zb, I don't get what you mean, but I don't get what a lot of people mean... smilies/tongue.gif smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Lyta_Underhill]

I'm thinking a "serious actor" (if you get what I mean...) I'm supposing you mean a seasoned actor with many years of experience under his belt. (EDIT: Just thought about this statement and realized that Elijah Wood has been acting as long as I can remember him being alive, so he'd qualify as well...I think I'm with you on this one, Samwise! )But Sir Ian can be very silly when he wants to be! Anyone have a guess at the two people he was referring to in the quote? (I know its zb's turn, but I'll tell soon if no one wants to guess... smilies/biggrin.gif

Cheers!
Lyta (might just use a Sean Astin quote her next turn, just to throw Samwise off again! But no, that wouldn't work, would it? smilies/rolleyes.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

<font size=1 color=339966>[ 3:05 AM January 28, 2004: Message edited by: Lyta_Underhill ]

[zb]

Okay, here's one:

The moment I cried at was when Aragorn kneels before the Hobbits.

(I don't *think* it's been used before in this game, if it has I can provide another or pass my turn on to the first person to tell me that my great memory isn't so great after all smilies/wink.gif)

***

Okay, about the 'serious' thing: Serious is the wrong word entirely. Forget that. It was what I wrote pre-9am. smilies/biggrin.gif

What I meant was that the bit about 'clowns' made me think of the role of the clown/fool in Shakespeare. And that the overall tone was that of an older person.

***

btw: a quick google search reveals who 'they' are, but I feel as if I shouldn't give it away since it's not a 'guess' per se. [blatant giveaway: If you want to know the answer, google the first sentence of the quote (in quote marks).]

[PoisonIvy]

sean astin? i did try the google search, i hope i'm not wrong.

[Evisse the Blue]

Lyta, I believe Ian was talking about some guys from the crew, possibly PJ and Fran? yes, I'm aiming for those extra points, and this quote sounds very familiar! smilies/smile.gif

PS: Happy Birthday to Elijah! smilies/biggrin.gif

<font size=1 color=339966>[ 8:48 AM January 28, 2004: Message edited by: Evisse the Blue ]

[Lyta_Underhill]

Sorry, Evisse, no points yet! zb, your quote does sound like Sean Astin, actually, but I didn't do a search and its already been guessed, so never mind! smilies/wink.gif Anyway, a hint for the two in question: they're both seated in high places in their respective realms in Middle Earth...(hope that's not too obvious a hint!)

Cheers,
Lyta
P.S. Seconds on the birthday wishes for Elijah! smilies/smile.gif

[Samwise]

Cate Blanchett and Hugo Weaving?

Or...Liv Tyler and Viggo Mortensen?

Anywhoo, for the quote,
what the heck, Hugo Weaving?

PS: Happy 23rd, Little One! smilies/wink.gif

[Eruwen]

Hmm...for the quote, I'm going to guess Liv Tyler, for once.

As for the extra points, Viggo Mortenson and Bernard Hill. smilies/biggrin.gif

EDIT: Oh, wait, maybe I should'a continued in the trend of wishing Elijah a happy birthday...............oh, alright, I will. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ELIJAH WOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! smilies/biggrin.gif {I hope he's seeing this}

<font size=1 color=339966>[ 7:27 PM January 28, 2004: Message edited by: Eruwen ]

[Lyta_Underhill]

Or...Liv Tyler and Viggo Mortensen? Well, Samwise, congratulations! You've guessed one of them! smilies/smile.gif Viggo is one, and then there's another, that no one has guessed yet!

Cheers!
Lyta

[Lyta_Underhill]

As for the extra points, Viggo Mortenson and Bernard Hill. Well, Eruwen, you managed to slip that post by me without my noticing! (Actually, I leave my posting screens up for hours sometimes while I work and then I remember to fill them in...what an airhead I am!) You got them both! Of course, Samwise guessed Viggo already as well! smilies/biggrin.gif And with those correct answers, I take my leave. (My husband delights in saying "I take my leave," just as Theoden does...it is some weird compulsion he has, even when he doesn't intend to go anywhere! smilies/rolleyes.gif And now its rubbing off! ) smilies/eek.gif

Cheers!
Lyta (not really taking her leave!) smilies/wink.gif

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

As to the quote, I don't know, Orlando Bloom?

And who would I be not to continue the trend and wish Elijah a happy birthday? Wouldn't it be so flattering to be able ot go online on your birthday and see it announced on Torn and everyone wishing you a happy one? I'm rather jealous.

I take my leave. smilies/biggrin.gif (Hey, maybe we could start a new trend! I'll start saying htat all the tme and see. My other "catch-phrases" are getting old.)

[zb]

Sean Astin it is smilies/smile.gif I believe PoisonIvy got in first.

[PoisonIvy]

yeyy!!! this one's really very easy...

I purposefully kept away from any other interpretation or taped readings by anybody, because I can't work like that as an actor.

[Eruwen]

Well, seeing it's really easy, I'll say Elijah Wood, even though I have no clue who said it.

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

I'll say Billy Boyd, since the other guesses I hade have talked about watching the Bashki version and stuff like that.

PS: Wow, I forgot to say "I take my leave". Thanks for reminding me, Lyta. I take my leave, too. smilies/wink.gif

<font size=1 color=339966>[ 7:33 PM January 29, 2004: Message edited by: Luthien_ Tinuviel ]

[Samwise]

For some reason it reminds me of Sean Astin...lol...yeah, the standard answer...

[Lyta_Underhill]

All hobbits, eh? Funny that no one said Dom yet! But I believe it is Andy Serkis (also a hobbitish sort!) smilies/smile.gif

Cheers!
Lyta

P.S. I take my leave. smilies/wink.gif

[Gorwingel]

How about a very random, non hobbitish answer...
Ian McKellen? smilies/cool.gif

[Evisse the Blue]

Would Ian Holm be too wild a guess?

[Samwise]

Poison Ivy, you there?

Okay, just to prove I can make non-hobbity guesses...
Viggo Mortensen?

[Lathriel]

I thought it was Viggo Mortensen as well or was it Ian Mckellen. Nah I don't think it was him. However I don't think it was any of the hobbits.

[Everdawn]

Has anyone said Liv? If they have, dont worry, if not... I guess Liv.

[Evisse the Blue]

Wait, I change my answer, I think it's Sean Bean.

Oh and Lyta - has anyone ever told you that you have a knack for picking the cutest Frodo avatars?? smilies/wink.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

[Lyta_Underhill]

Oh and Lyta - has anyone ever told you that you have a knack for picking the cutest Frodo avatars?? Why thank you, Evisse! I tend to like the "Shire Frodo" ambience, since many of my ramblings on the Barrowdowns are (pseudo)-intellectual exercises, and Frodo relaxing with a pipe, or sleeping on the statue at Amon Hen (which I could barely find the strength to let go!) give me that reflective look in my own estimation. (Another secret is that I modified and cropped the pic to a watercolor look to enhance this property.)

On another note, I wonder if Poison Ivy is just hanging back until we name every member of the cast before coming back with the final pronunciation? smilies/wink.gif

Cheers,
Lyta

[Mad Baggins]

I am going to guess Christopher Lee.

[Samwise]

I tend to like the "Shire Frodo" ambience
Me, too. I guess it's part of why I like Fellowship of the Ring best--before everything got sad and haunted and creepy. smilies/frown.gif

[Gorwingel]

It has been two days... Should we wait or go on? Even though I would love to find out if I was correct, it would be good to move on because I very much enjoy this game, and I have been missing it recently smilies/biggrin.gif

Gorwingel smilies/cool.gif

[The Saucepan Man]

Under the Quotes Room rules (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=6&t=000204), you should wait until 10 days are up.

If you want to move things on more quickly, try PM'ing PoisonIvy.

[Samwise]

Okay, going waaaay out on a limb (for me, anyway) Orlando Bloom? smilies/tongue.gif

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Well, everyone, since PoisonIvy posted the quote on the 29th of January, it's now been 11 days. So, does anyone want to give us a new quote? I'm looking forward to starting up again; I've been missing this game.

[Evisse the Blue]

::raises hand:: Can I? Pick me, pick me!
I got a new one - stuck in my head actually
smilies/wink.gif
Challenge authority

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Dom?

[Evisse the Blue]

::gets weird deja vu feeling::
yeah, Dom it is.

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Didn't we already have some guesses which got lost in the move or something? I'm pretty sure someone already guessed Dom and got it right, but it was yesterday, when the system was unstable adn things were liable to get lost.

[Lyta_Underhill]

Didn't we already have some guesses which got lost in the move or something? I'm pretty sure someone already guessed Dom and got it right, but it was yesterday, Indeed you're right, Luthien! It was Mariska who guessed Dom in the old forum too, because I lamented her beating me to the guess! My post lamenting this fact was lost, but Mariska's remained.

Cheers!
Lyta

P.S. I tried to PM PoisonIvy too, but it is possible the forum change messed that up. I haven't gotten a reply. One of life's mysteries, I suppose! ;)

[Evisse the Blue]

So that's why the deja vu feeling - I had already confirmed this guess on the other forum...:o it'll take me a while to get settled in here...::sniff:: i miss my old barrow...

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Yeah, it will take some time to get used to it, but it's allright, the pages load with the speed of light!:D

It sounds bizarre, but it felt the same as playing a historical character

[Evisse the Blue]

Sean Bean?

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Nope!:) joehoe! We have the good old smiley back!!:D

[Lyta_Underhill]

Bling Blang it! I know this one and read it recently and can't remember who it is! :eek: Let's guess then! Ian McKellen?

Cheers,
Lyta

[Mad Baggins]

Was it Viggo Mortensen?

[Gorwingel]

Yey! It's Back!

Is it Bernard Hill? :cool:

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Um, I don't know, Brad Dourif? :) Yay for the old smiley!

[Mariska Greenleaf]

I'm sorry, no one has it so far...:cool:

[Lyta_Underhill]

No one has guessed a hobbit yet? How about Elijah Wood? ;)

Cheers,
Lyta

[Mariska Greenleaf]

You have it!

[Lyta_Underhill]

Yayyy!!!! :D I should have gone with the first instinct! OK, from now on, my standard answer is Elijah Wood...(just kidding!) ;) Now for another quote:
I did actually stab somebody in the leg.

Cheers!
Lyta

[Evisse the Blue]

lol, my first guess is usually Elijah as well... but that qoute was tricksy.
So, for this one: I'll guess Dom because Merry stabs the Witch King in the leg.

[Lyta_Underhill]

Nope! Sorry! Not Dom!
Cheers!
Lyta

[Mad Baggins]

I'm going to guess Viggo. (Didn't I already do that? Humm...)

[Lyta_Underhill]

Not Viggo! Sorry, Mad Baggins! (Did I ever tell you that's a great name? If not, I'm doing it now! :D )

Cheers,
Lyta

[Gorwingel]

Orlando Bloom? :cool:

[Carlas]

Would it be Miranda Otto?

[Aredhel Ar-Feiniel]

Darn Carlas beat me to it. Wasnt that interview with Miranda Otto in the Sydney Morning Herald about a year ago?

[Lyta_Underhill]

Miranda it is! Carlas, the turn is yours!

Cheers,
Lyta

[Carlas]

Thanks, I hope this one hasn't been done before...

Everybody was so tight-knit, so bonded together, that it felt almost like a low-budget movie where no one's doing it for the money.

[Aredhel Ar-Feiniel]

Ok, um...

Sean Astin?

[Carlas]

Nope, not Sean! Sorry!

[Mad Baggins]

Why, thank you Lyta!

Hmm...let's guess Elijah Wood, precious! *gollum*

[Carlas]

It's not Mr. Wood either! Keep trying!

[Gorwingel]

Is it the most honorable Mr. Billy Boyd :cool:

[Alexus Varus]

Is it Bernard Hill?

[Evisse the Blue]

Dom?

[Carlas]

Bernard Hill is correct! Your go Alexus Varus !

[Alexus Varus]

"People who are creaters create." get that into ya!:D

[Mad Baggins]

Hmm...how lovely! Viggo?

[Alexus Varus]

Sure was, from Vanity Fair a few months ago. :D Your go Mad Baggins.

[Mad Baggins]

Wow, I got it! Lucky! :)
I’ll never forget anything about Middle Earth. That’s part of my memory now so I won’t miss anything. It’ll always be there if I want to remember it. And then to watch it on the DVD, if I want to see that. Isn’t that lucky?

[The Perky Ent]

Ah, now that would be John Noble!

[The Saucepan Man]

This thread has once again reached the limit of its permissible length. Please start a new thread if you wish to continue the game.

Thanks. :)

[Carlas]

The other thread reached its limit so let's continue the game here!

Mad Baggins' quote is:
I’ll never forget anything about Middle Earth. That’s part of my memory now so I won’t miss anything. It’ll always be there if I want to remember it. And then to watch it on the DVD, if I want to see that. Isn’t that lucky?

And The Perky Ent has answered:
Ah, now that would be John Noble!

[Eruwen]

Alright now, Mad Baggins', where are you? You posted on the 14th, and someone answered a pretty confident answer that same day. It is now the 22nd. How many days is that? 8? You don't have much more time before we will be forced to move on. Please reply!

[Carlas]

I have just sent a PM to Mad Baggins so hopefully he(she?) will be posting soon!:)

[The Perky Ent]

Please answer Mad Baggins! I think I was right and i'd hate for someone else to take over the thread...shoot! I just gave y'all an idea. MUST EDIT! NO TOO LATE! ALREADY POSTED! MUST DELETE SERVER...

[Everdawn]

Has it been time? Whats the next quote? Will Mad Baggins return? Is purple my colour? - All this and more will be answered in the next few posts... (I guess)

[Everdawn]

It has been over 10 days and Mad Baggins has not returned, do we wait longer or start up again?

[Eruwen]

I think we should let Perky Ent continue with the next quote...since he/she is pretty confident of his/herself. What do you guys think?

[Carlas]

Go ahead Perky Ent, the floor is yours!

[The Perky Ent]

I'll tell you what I think, Eruwen. I'm a dude! Not a dudet, but a dude! So, on to start a new question! What will it be...ah yes! The quote is:
I remember in London when I saw the last three reels of the final film. I never cried so hard in my life


Now, get to work!

[Everdawn]

Sir Ian?

[Eärendil]

Sean Astin?

[The Perky Ent]

Correct Earendil! It was indeed Sean Asten! The floor is your

[Eärendil]

Really? *looks surprised* And on my first guess...
Ok, well, let´s continue (I hope this one hasn´t been posted before):
For me the 45 days I spent shooting LOTR were truely blissful. Wonderful crew and cast, sumptuous food, plenty of coffee, amazing locations and of course working with the one and only Peter Jackson.

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Karl Urban?

[The Perky Ent]

Um, is that Bruce Hopkins?

[Eärendil]

And the Perky Ent gets it! *smiles* Bruce Hopkins is correct.
Please proceed.

[Everdawn]

Perks darling, are you at home with us here?

[The Perky Ent]

Yes, i'm still home! Now....how about... Not a general who stood on a hill directing troops, but someone who went out with a sharpened sword and put life and limb on the line


HAVE FUN!

[Gorwingel]

Nice to see you back Perky ;)

Is the person who spoke that quote Viggo?

[The Perky Ent]

It's not Viggo, although i though it was him the first time i saw the quote!

[Aredhel Ar-Feiniel]

Bernard Hill?

[Everdawn]

Way out there in China Field, John Noble?

[The Perky Ent]

Correct Aredhel Ar-Feiniel, it was Benard Hill! Your go

[Aredhel Ar-Feiniel]

"Even when he decides to get disgruntled for a moment, he cant quite do it very well."

There you go.

[Mad Baggins]

Hmm...is it Dominic Monaghan?

[Everdawn]

Areds is it Sean Astin?

[Aredhel Ar-Feiniel]

Aredsss say yes it be SEAN ASTIN.

From Premiere article "Four hobbits walk into a bar."

[Eruwen]

If you don't mind me asking, Aredhel, who was Sean Astin talking about when he said that?

[Aredhel Ar-Feiniel]

Billy Boyd.

[Everdawn]

aH, OK Ill just have to find a quote now, wont be long..

[Everdawn]

The photographers : they are more dangerous than goblins and trolls.

OK there it is.

[Lyta_Underhill]

Wild guess--Sean Astin?
Cheers!
Lyta

[Everdawn]

nope sorry Lyta:)

[Iaurhirwen]

Another wild guess: Orlando?

(Hooray to me for my 51st Post!!!!)

[Everdawn]

Yes, it was Orlando Bloom, when asked what was the dark side of Fame.

[Iaurhirwen]

Oh yea! I'm psycic! I'm psycic! Or perhaps just psyco . . . . . I never really figured that one out. Anyhoo:

I was deffinitely welled up . I was choked. I was suddenly reminded of how lucky I was to be a part of the process and how much it changed me. . . .

[Lyta_Underhill]

Hello, and welcome to the Orlando Show, here on the Barrowdowns! Two in row from your favorite blonde elf! (Well, not MY favorite blonde elf...) Sorry, just feeling a bit silly myself! :D

Cheers!
Lyta

[Everdawn]

lol, yeah, I think your right, it sounds like Orlando Lyta... Back to you in the studio!

[Iaurhirwen]

Yep, it is Orlando, summing up his last days in costume for a report in Newsweek. Your go Lyta.

[Lyta_Underhill]

Thanks, Iaurhirwen! I decided to try something totally random, but maybe not too hard:
He was sending me a reading list of books on the Balkans -- 97 books.

Cheers!
Lyta

[Everdawn]

Viggo Mortensen?

[Iaurhirwen]

I have this incredibly odd incling to say:

John-Rhys Davis

I don't know why, but the little hobbits in my head are telling me to say that!:D

[Lyta_Underhill]

Sorry! Neither Viggo nor JRD is correct...more guesses? :D

Cheers,
Lyta

[Everdawn]

Sean Bean... could be him..

If not him Bernard Hill?

[Gorwingel]

How about a different Sean... Sean Astin?

[Eruwen]

Something is telling me to choose Christopher Lee. How about him?

[Lyta_Underhill]

Not Sean A or B, Bernard Hill, nor Chris Lee...anyone want a hint? (If I can think of one), or do you want to keep on guessing?

Cheers!
Lyta

[Iaurhirwen]

I'm going to go random again and guess Orlando.

[Lyta_Underhill]

I'm going to go random again and guess Orlando.
Iaurhirwen, why is it that all your 'random' guesses and quotes turn out to be Orlando? ;) Sorry! It isn't a three-in-a-row sweep this time! Not Orlando...back to you in the studio!

Cheers,
Lyta (sillier and sillier still!) :D

[Iaurhirwen]

No reason for it to be Orlando. I'm not a fan-girl and would resent being called that.

Also you would notice that my little voices told me JRD previously.

My logic actually on the Orlando guess is that it was possibly a three-in-a-row thing, because it is what somebody usually wouldn't do, and you were trying to trick somebody, even though it totally didn't even sound like him.;)

Sorry - I get a little defensive at times - comes from past experiences.

Anywhoo - being that nobody has yet guessed - Hint:( *pout, pout*

[Lyta_Underhill]

My logic actually on the Orlando guess is that it was possibly a three-in-a-row thing, because it is what somebody usually wouldn't do, and you were trying to trick somebody, even though it totally didn't even sound like him.
I suppose it comes from limited experience on my part! Many apologies! Didn't mean to insinuate Orlification on anyone here! ;) (By the way, I made up that word, I think...and you're right--that would be a good strategy!)

This quote was in reference to a 2001 movie (interview was in 2000) and this actor played one of a pair of siblings who were the focus of this film. The quote refers to the actor's preparation for the role.

Cheers,
Lyta

[Everdawn]

Ok then that says Elijah, but im not entirely sure, either that or John Noble.

[Lyta_Underhill]

I like how you manage to get in two guesses in a post, Everdawn! ;) However, it is neither Elijah nor John Noble! (It is in my basic nature to post Elijah quotes, but this time I went against the grain! You don't know how hard it was not to post the one about chocolate...anyway!) More guesses, and/or more hints?

Cheers!
Lyta

[Everdawn]

I have a question, this movie, was it set in the balkans?

[Everdawn]

I know who it is!! Marton Cosaks?

[Lyta_Underhill]

have a question, this movie, was it set in the balkans? Partially--the other part is set in the American West, and it isn't Marton Csokas...good guess, though!

Cheers!
Lyta
(still calls Marton "Borias" from long years of Xena-watching...)

[Everdawn]

This is depressing, i need another clue.

[Gorwingel]

Here is a guess out of left field... Is it Craig Parker?

Oh and please don't give a clue. We will find the answer eventually. Even if we have to go through the enitre cast list from the DVD ;)

[Lyta_Underhill]

Wow! I suppose the quote is hard! It isn't Craig Parker, either, Gorwingel, sorry! Another hint--the movie referred to in this actor's quote co-starred Joseph Fiennes. Good luck!
Cheers!
Lyta

P.S. Sorry, Gorwingel, I didn't see your plea for no clue, but this is the second clue, actually, so I suppose it was already too late! Perhaps I am a little rusty and should have settled for that Elijah quote after all! ;)

[Everdawn]

Cate Blanchette

[Lyta_Underhill]

Sorry! Not Cate either! More guesses?
Cheers,
Lyta

[Eruwen]

Ah, I shame myself for not guessing this one before, for he has been a common guess for me in the past. So here continues my guess of Dominic Monaghan!!! Could I be lucky? We shall see.... :smokin:

[Lyta_Underhill]

Sorry, Eruwen, no luck on the Dom guess! Let's see, the guesses thus far:
Viggo Mortenson
John Rhys-Davies
Orlando Bloom
Elijah Wood
Bernard Hill
Sean Bean
Sean Astin
Cate Blanchett
Craig Parker
Marton Csokas
John Noble
Christopher Lee
Dominic Monaghan

This list is getting really long now! Anyone care to add more? ;)

Cheers!
Lyta

[Eruwen]

Billy Boyd!!!!!!??????? Ha, now I'm going through all the Hobbits that I can think of....it's a good plan if you ask me.

[Lyta_Underhill]

*buzzer sounds* Sorry, not Billy either! I wonder what the longest list of guesses on this quote game is? (puzzles a bit) . More guesses welcome!
Cheers!
Lyta

[Everdawn]

This is beginning ot make me angry! :p

Sir Ian?

[Lyta_Underhill]

Another clever double guess, Everdawn, as there are two Sir Ians! ;) But, neither one is the speaker of this quote, unfortunately. Keep guessing and eventually you'll find it!

Cheers!
Lyta

[Everdawn]

I meant Mc Kellen.. oh dear.

Hmmm...

Sean Astin.

[Lyta_Underhill]

Sorry! Sean A. was guessed earlier; maybe you should make a list of who is left? ;) (I guess I gave out a free one for the Sir Ian guess--it is neither McKellen nor Holm...)

Cheers!
Lyta

[Eruwen]

I know the answer now to the quote, but I think I cheated to find out. I'm not sure though. What would be considered cheating around here anyway?

[Gorwingel]

How about... Brad Dourif? :rolleyes:

[Lyta_Underhill]

Sorry, Gorwingel, it's not Brad, and Eruwen, I'm not sure what would be cheating here, because the beginning of the thread is so far back in another thread actually, that I don't know if it was ever explicated. This one has gone on awhile, though, so, if you know, feel free!

Cheers!
Lyta

[Gorwingel]

Well I will try to get in one last guess... (depending on if Eruwen has it right)

Hugo Weaving?

[Everdawn]

Karl Urban?

[Lyta_Underhill]

Sorry, not Hugo or Karl and no answer from Eruwen so far...the list now reads:
Viggo Mortenson
John Rhys-Davies
Orlando Bloom
Elijah Wood
Bernard Hill
Sean Bean
Sean Astin
Cate Blanchett
Craig Parker
Marton Csokas
John Noble
Christopher Lee
Dominic Monaghan
Billy Boyd
Ian McKellen
Ian Holm
Brad Dourif
Hugo Weaving
Karl Urban

Wow! That's 19 names! Anyone care to add more?
Cheers,
Lyta

[Everdawn]

THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!

Ok, Miranda Otto.

[Lyta_Underhill]

Nope! Not Miranda! The list swells to 20 names now! There can't be that many left, can there? (Remembers just how many characters there are...) ;)
Cheers!
Lyta

P.S. I actually chose this quote at random, too, using a search and taking the first LOTR actor with quotes to take!

[Gorwingel]

Well I don't think that it could be this person... but... How about Liv Tyler?

[Lyta_Underhill]

Well I don't think that it could be this person... but... How about Liv Tyler? You're right, Gorwingel, it couldn't be (and isn't). The list is at 21 names now...keep trying! It has to turn up sooner or later! ;)
Cheers!
Lyta

[Eruwen]

Ok, ok, since this has gone on forever and, I think, has outdone even Earendil's many quotes, I will give my answer...guess...whatever. David Wenham? I kinda looked it up on Google cause I was too impatient for someone to accidentally stumble upon the right guess. :D :confused:

[Lyta_Underhill]

And Eruwen wins the prize! Even if Google helped, that list was getting too long for comfort! Your turn! :D
Cheers!
Lyta

[Samwise]

LOL! I think this should be retitled "The game that goes on forever...." ;)

[Everdawn]

Can I ask what movie that was?

[Lyta_Underhill]

Can I ask what movie that was? That was, in fact, a movie called "Dust" from 2001, starring Wenham and Joseph Fiennes as brothers in the turn of the century Arizona (US) and Macedonia after that. I haven't seen it though--don't know if it is any good. The IMDB listing is here: Dust (2001) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0243232/) . According to one reviewer, Wenham's American accent is abysmal. Some reviewers seem to like this film, some think it is awful. I think I'll wait til I see it, personally!

Cheers,
Lyta

[Eruwen]

Ha, yay I get to post a quote now. Dang, I haven't done this in a long time. Let's see, let me find a hard one...wait a second, hey, what happened to the evil face smily? Anyway, ok, here's the quote...

"If only actors were more powerful they would never get themselves into the ludicrous position where they can be offered a million dollars to play a part they know they can't possibly be worth."

Have at it!!!! Lol.....ooh, I really want that evil smily again. Uh..... [*evil face*]. There ya go. ;)

[Iaurhirwen]

Ahhh, the sarcasm.

It seems to me an older, more "traditional", actor would say this. I'm simply going to give it a guess and say Sir Ian M.

[Samwise]

Sir Ian H? :confused:

[Lyta_Underhill]

I was thinking more John Rhys-Davies, but it also sounds like Sir Ian Gandalf ;)
Cheers!
Lyta

[Gorwingel]

Christopher Lee?

[The Perky Ent]

Brad Durrif? I really have no idea

[Everdawn]

Bernard Hill

[Samwise]

...I'll go with my usual and say Sean A. He sys some pretty deep things sometimes... :p

[Eruwen]

Well, let's see, let me go ahead and start making my list of guesses. So far there has been (in alphabetical order):

Sean Astin
Brad Dourif
Bernard Hill
Sir Ian Holm
Christopher Lee
Sir Ian McKellen
John Rhys-Davies

So many guess, so many hopeful guessers, and yet, no one has it. :D Try Again!!!!

EDIT: Hang on, is Ian Holm really a "Sir"? Cause I didn't know that. Hmm....

[Samwise]

Sean Astin
Brad Dourif
Bernard Hill
Sir Ian Holm
Christopher Lee
Sir Ian McKellen
John Rhys-Davies

EDIT: Hang on, is Ian Holm really a "Sir"? Cause I didn't know that. Hmm....


I'm pretty sure he is. Someone correct me if I'm wrong...
So...not any of those guys....

Viggo Mortensen?

[Eruwen]

Sorry, Samwise, not him either. :( Hmm...this might be even harder than I thought. Lol. After a while I'll have to give a hint or two. After...10 guesses I'll give one....or 15, if you all would like to continue with shots in the dark. Lol.

[Lyta_Underhill]

Sometimes it's fun just to make shots in the dark: Cate Blanchett?
Cheers,
Lyta

[Evisse the Blue]

ok, I'll bite: Dominic Monaghan?

[Mad Baggins]

Liv Tyler?

[Samwise]

Sean Astin
Brad Dourif
Bernard Hill
Sir Ian Holm
Christopher Lee
Sir Ian McKellen
John Rhys-Davies
Viggo Mortensen

Uh.....*take another shot in the dark* Sala Baker? :confused:

[Eruwen]

To continue my list...

Sean Astin
Sala Baker
Cate Blanchett
Brad Dourif
Bernard Hill
Sir Ian Holm
Christopher Lee
Sir Ian McKellen
John Rhys-Davies
Dominic Monaghan
Viggo Mortensen
Liv Tyler

Such good guesses, but yet sill not any correct ones. 12 guesses so far...should I give a hint? I only will if you all ask.

[Lyta_Underhill]

*realizes she hasn't guessed her regular answer of Elijah Wood yet!* :D
Cheers!
Lyta

[Eruwen]

Yay, you remembered! Isn't it sad when you realize that you havn't guessed your "normal" yet? You know what also is sad? He's not right either.:( See, isn't that so sad? Now, if you guys need a hint, I will tell. Actually, I have two hints that I can give. All you have to do is say so.

[Gorwingel]

Well here is a shot in the dark...
Orlando Bloom?

[Everdawn]

Miranda Otto

[Evisse the Blue]

Since nobody will, I'll ask for a hint

[Thorongil]

Sean Bean?

[Mariska Greenleaf]

I believe it's Alan Howard. That is one tricky quote!
Now I understand the evil face... :D

[Eruwen]

Well, I was going to give a hint, but then, Mariska, you have done it. YOU GOT IT RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!Ok, I'll stop with all the exclamation points now. But, lo and behold, yes is was indeed Alan Howard, the ever famous voice of the "one ring". :D ;) :smokin: You had to have done your research there, Mariska. Props for you. Your turn!

[Mariska Greenleaf]

It wasn't easy, that's for sure!

New one, I hope it lasts a bit...

We were rehearsing this scene and they wanted it to be 5 seconds long and I had to kill 5 orcs or something.

good luck! :smokin:

[Thorongil]

Hmmm... Orlando Bloom?

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Good guess, but no. ;)

[Thorongil]

It can't be that many who had to kill 5 orcs in 5 seconds.
Viggo Mortensen?

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Yes, I know that this quote is limiting the possible actors,
but it's not Viggo either...

[Lady Snickerdoodle]

Hey... I forget where I saw it, on like some other fansite (less cooler than barrowdowns of course) it's either the Isildur guy or an elf. ???? i forget!

[Thorongil]

John Rhys-Davies? I think I might have seen it somewhere.

[Everdawn]

Karl Urban?

[Lyta_Underhill]

I'll steal Samwise's guess and go with Sean Astin! ;) (not sure why though!)
Cheers!
Lyta

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

I think I remember seeing the quote somewhere, and if my memory serves then in that case Lyta would right.... But I'll go with Miranda Otto, just because.

[Gorwingel]

What about Bernard Hill?

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Hm... I haven't seen the name of the actor that I'm looking for just yet.
Although someone came pretty close. Not to say, real close!
:smokin:

[Evisse the Blue]

David Wenham?

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Nope.
Maybe it's a good idea to run through the guesses that already have been done, because it's there, but I really demand the name of the actor!

[Evisse the Blue]

Then it must be Harry Sinclair.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

It is! Your turn :)

[Evisse the Blue]

Thanks, Mariska!
I mainly check out LOTR sites.
Well? :smokin:

[Iaurhirwen]

Oops - didn't see page 4. Sorry.

[Eruwen]

Well, since I am in a mood for this actor, and I am searching for pictures of him, I will guess Elijah Wood.

[Everdawn]

Bruce Hopkins

[Gorwingel]

Well I would say Peter Jackson, but he is not an actor. So I think I will go with the guess of Sir Ian McKellen (I know it sounds like an odd choice, but I am just going to go with it).

[Samwise]

For some reason I'm thinking Li'l Mr. Wood, too, but since he's been said,

Sean Astin?

[Evisse the Blue]

It's none of these. :D

[Everdawn]

It sounds like one i read from Liv Tyler
