LOTR Actors in other movies?

[Samwise]

How many folks have seen any of the LOTR actors in other movies? I confess, I'm not much of a movie goer (as you can tell from what I'm about to say), but aside from Sean Astin in <I>Goonies</I> and a chunk of <I>Rudy</I> (during which I kept thinking he just looked like a larger Mikey... I'm afraid I haven't seen anyone in <I>anything.</I> My LOTR-expert friend, with whom I went to see FOTR (see below)and has recommended <I>The Bumblebee Flies Anywhere</I> (with little Mr. Wood), but haven't been able to yet.<BR>(Below is what happened after seeing LOTR-FOTR for the first time....)<BR>----------------------------------------------<BR>My friend and I who went to see LOTR-FOTR the first time last December immediately after leaving the theatre went and hunted down a DVD of Goonies. Whoa....it was like going back in time, it was so wierd. HE (Sean Astin) WAS SO LITTLE!!!!! I found out recently that Sean Astin is about 3 months younger than I am... But he was <I>little.</I> (I remember thinking him to be about 10 then, when he was really 13.) It was so fun watching <I>Goonies</I>...and at one point--don't know if anyone recalls--when the kids are at the bottom of the wishing well..."Mikey" looked up at the camera, and the look on his face just made me bust out at the top of my lungs,<BR>"I made a promise, Mr. Frodo.....!!!!" It was hilarious.<BR>Anywho, I've rambled far too much. <BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> <BR>"When you're a Hobbit, you're always looking up."<BR>~Sean Astin, Goonies DVD<BR>"It all starts here."- Mikey Walsh, Goonies <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><p>[ July 29, 2002: Message edited by: Samwise ]

That's funny! I've seen Elijah in Flipper, and Liv Tyler in "Inventing the Abbots" <She was this farm girl, that was eerie> and Cate Blanchett in... um, something. And of course, Christopher Lee in Star Wars. At one point, he says "Join us, my friend" or something along those lines, and I blurted out loud: "It would be wise, my friend." The people around me laughed, so I guess a moment of loudness was okay.

[charly]

Well, my all-time-fav-actress Cate Blanchtt was starring in this really cool movie "Elizabeth", PLUS someone told me Christopher Lee was in Star Wars 2. That´s all I could think of now.

Christopher Lee played Count Dooku in the latest Star Wars movie, Attack of the Clones. There ya go!<P> Old as you feel, hmm? I'll have to remember that...

[Naaramare]

Ian McKellan was Magneto in the X-Men movie, and was also in Apt Pupil (I think?)

[RichardRudd]

Viggo Mortensen was in the 1995 film The Prophecy,he played Lucifer like I had never pictured him.Christopher Walken played the angel Gabriel.This is a very disturbing film.It was great if you get a chance see it.Aragorn is very different in this.

[Estelyn Telcontar]

Viggo Mortensen was also in "28 Days" with Sandra Bullock.

Sir Ian was <I>Magneto!?!?!?</I> Holy jeez, talk about a different role.... <BR>That was another movie I thoughrougly enjoyed, being a comic buff, particularly Marvel, even though the "facts" weren't all correct....<BR>Sir Ian as Magneto....gotta see X-men again...<BR> <B>=<BR> [B]?????</B><BR>Odd.......<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>"And Bill could take a bit more, couldn't you, lad?" said Sam.

Hugo Weaving is in The Matrix and Ellijah Wood is also in North and Disney's version of Oliver Twist(it stank). Marton Csokas/Celeborn was in SW 2 underneath a mask and costume as one of the senators or was it one of the aliens at Dooku's table.

[Estelyn Telcontar]

Miranda Otto (Éowyn) plays a major role in an Australian movie called 'Dead Letter Office'. It's on a German channel tonight, so I may edit to add my impression after seeing it. Unfortunately, I won't be able to hear her voice, since it's dubbed.

[Mattius]

Well if most of you are Americans then you won't have heard of this one but Sean Bean was in a film here called 'When Saturday Comes'. It is a film about a great football player (soccer for you across the pond) who has great potential but messes up his life by doing loads of alcohol etc. The best thing though is that the Football Club he plays for is Sheffield United and Sean himself is a lifelong Sheffield United supporter! It was his dream to play for the club and he ended up doing it in a film. Also because I come from Sheffield myself I found the film great as I recoignised all the sets!

[Frodo Baggins]

Theoden was in Titanic???? Who was he????<P>This is what I've seen:<P>Elijah Wood: Forever Young, Flipper, Deep Impact,North<P>Sean Bean: Black Beauty (long time ago)<P>Ian Mckellen: X-men<P>Hugo Weaving: well, I heard his voice in Babe, soen that count? (Elrond's a dog!!!!) I want to see The Matrix BAD!!!<P>Oh yes!! I wathced Hetty Winthrop with my Grandma once! Dominic Monhagan. He's so cute!<P>I did't see Broken English but Martin Cosacks is Haldir right??<P>Christopher Lee: Star Wars Episode II. Hee hee when i saw him in SW I wanted to say, "Saruman? You're supposed to be in Middle-Earth. What are you doing in a galaxy far away?<P>I want too see movies with Ian Holm!!!! I love they way he acts!!!!<P>OK I saw Titanic, I didnt recognise Bernard Hill, but I porbably saw him.

I'll swear that Marton Csokas was in StarWars under a mask at Dooku's table. And I know this totally off the subjects but Ewan McGregor is in StarWars, BlackHawkDown and MoulinRouge. Since some of the LOTR actors were in those movies I thought you might like to know.<P>EWAN MCGREGOR ROX!

I dont know if people have said this yet, but C.Lee was in 007- The man with the golden gun as Scaramanga... he was like a cousin of the producer or smth like that.

[Frodo Baggins]

I forgot to mention......<P>Brad Dourif, who plays MY favourite villan Grima Wormtongue, was on Babylon-5 once. I don't know what part he played (if anyone does please tell me), but since I have probably seen every episode of B5 I am sure I saw him.

[Raefindel]

Ian McKellen in Scarlet Pimpernel

[Frodo Baggins]

Oh MY GOSH!!!! Hee hee He's soo young!!!! This is freaky!

[Raefindel]

You've never seen it? It's one of my favorite movies of all time!

[Gimli]

If anybody didn't already know but christopher lee was big in the horror monsters genre in the days of Dracula,he portrayed Dracula about 9 times, dracula, the mummy, dr jeckal and mr hyde. Also Viggo was in that awful remake of the hitchcock thriller Psyco. Orlando Bloom is starring along side Heath Ledger in the new film being made in Australia about the notorius Ned Kelly Gang. I cant wait till thats released. Not as much as two towers is released. elijah wood was also in The Faculty, which wasn't bad.

[Raefindel]

Orlando Bloom has several movies coming up including "Pirates of the Carribean" (still in production) and an English movie "The Calcium Kid" in which he plays a milkman (If that is to be released in the US I haven't heard about it.)<P><BR>Yes, Christopher Lee is a Horror Icon.

Hey all<BR>Ever since i saw LOTR i have been obsessed with Elijah Wood.

The rest wasn't that good though, but he was.)<BR>*Deep Impact (He needed more screen time)<BR>*Chain of Fools<BR>*Tom Thumb (This is animated)<BR>*Ash Wednesday <BR>*Thumbsucker (2003)<P>Well i think that was nearly all his movies. He has done so many, and has been acting since he was 7/8. His best movie being LOTR, he did a perfect role. Sorry if i have bored you but i think he deserves credit for all his movies. I have seen so many of his movies and they are all good.<P>Well sorry for boring you.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Dream the impossible because dreams do come true. (Elijah Wood) <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

[Diamond18]

Andy Serkis, who plays Gollum, played Bill Sikes in a very good version of "Oliver Twist" for television.<P>I've seen lots of other LotR actors in many movies, but they've all been listed so I won't bore you. But "The Matrix" is on TV as I type...who else can't resist quoting Agent Smith whenever Elrond is on the screen? "I'm sorry, Gandalf, but your hobbits are already dead."

[hobbitlass]

I read the posts and I don't think this is mentioned....Brad Dourif (Wormtongue) played in "One flew over the cuckoo's nest" with Jack Nicholson. He's the young guy who kills himself. <P>..."Nurse Ratchett, I want my cigarettes"...

[Elenna]

THE CALCIUM KID???? Please tell me that's a joke.<P>I got tossed out of a theater for saying "Mr. Anderson" after all of Elrond's lines. Plus I almost got beaten by some older man who is apparently a die-hard Tolkien fan with an attitude problem. He didn't stop yelling at me until I started cussing in Sindarin.

[hobbitlass]

No joke Elenna (sp?).<P>Wow, you speak Sindarin! So did the old fart know what you were saying? And what happened?!

[Frodo Baggins]

Does anyone know what episode of Babylon-5 Brad Dourif was in?? (he said himself that he was) And what part he played????

[Frodo Baggins]

Elenna that Mr. Anderson thing was not nice!!!!!!!! I have not seen The Matrix yet, so Hugo Weaving (who is an excellent actor!!!) is no one but Elrond to me. If I hear one more Agernt Elrond joke i think i will have a nervous breakdown. When I DO see The Matrix (I intend to soon) Hugo will remian Elrond. Judt Like Elijah will always be Frodo to me no matter how many movies I see him in>

I don't speak Sindarin, but I got some great insults from a link in the Languages forum.<P>I am learning Quenya, but I don't think there are any real insults in such a beautiful language.

[Kalimac]

I've seen a lot of them but those movies have already been listed, so to avoid repeats:<P>JOHN RHYS-DAVIES: MACRO in "I, Claudius" which is by far the best miniseries ever made, though it faces stiff competition from "Pride and Prejudice." It's impossible to recognize him since he's 25 years younger, clean-shaven, wearing a Roman centurion's uniform, and conspiring with the evil Caligula to butcher everybody in sight. Like Gimli, he has a fairly direct approach to things ("What are we waiting for? Let's destroy it!") but unlike Gimli he's doing it for pure personal gain and ends up being executed in the end, along with most of his compatriots.<P>ANDY SERKIS: MR. D'AUBAN the dancing master in "Topsy-Turvy." If you want to see Gollum as a perpetually boozed-up Cockney dancing-master trying to teach Japanese fan dances to the original cast of "The Mikado" this is definitely your movie. The thing is I saw this movie before LOTR came out, so knowing that it was Serkis voicing Gollum made it a little weird.

[Birdland]

Kalimac! I love that mini-series! (which BTW also has "Captain Picard" playing a VERY evil Sejanus. In fact, I've probably read "I, Claudius" and "Claudius the God" as many times as I've read LoTR. A perpetual favorite. Robert Graves Rules!<P>Also, does anyone know if that is Andy Serkis sitting in the boat as Smeagol in the recently released still from the Two Towers?<P>P.S. - Welcome back, Kalimac!<p>[ October 03, 2002: Message edited by: Birdland ]

[Kalimac]

Oh, remembered some more - Billy Boyd is *going* to be in the Aubrey/Maturin movie they're making right now. So maybe that can be counted as a "future appearance" - I mean, I'm definitely going to see it and all. <P>And - I don't think I saw this one here - IAN MCKELLEN as Amos the itinerant preacher in Cold Comfort Farm, where he has the immortal line (when preaching to the Quiverers congregation) "But THERE IS NO BUTTER IN HELL!" He's hard to recognize but look closely. <P>Birdie - Thanks! Nice to see you guys again as well. Can't believe it's been so long; between finally moving into our new apartment, waiting for $%#)* DSL to be hooked up (it only took four visits from the telephone company over the course of six weeks, grrrr), and the new internet tracking at work, I was still shocked to realize it had been 3 months. Oy. Never again. And Patrick Stewart as Sejanus is something else - almost as unrecognizable as Rhys-Davies though; look, he has HAIR!

Well, movies I've actually seen with LOTR actors in it are:

Sean Astin: Goonies
Ian McKellan: X-Men
Christopher Lee: Star Wars II, Sleepy Hollow
Sean Bean: Goldeneye, Black Beauty
Miranda Otto: What Lies Beneath
Cate Blanchett: Bandits
David Wenham: Moulin Rouge
Liv Tyler: Armageddon
Bernard Hill: Titanic, Ghandi
Viggo Mortensen: G.I. Jane
Orlando Bloom: Black Hawk Down (part of it)
Hugo Weaving: The Matrix, Matrix Reloaded, Babe
John Rhys-Davies: Aladdin and the King of Thieves
Ian Holm: some old WWII movie (I can't remember what it's called)

Strange...I have not seen many of the movies the actors from LOTR are in. You'd think I would considering I am fans of all of them.

I have actually really never watched it, but I watched the first part of it on cable (bravo, they sometimes show it on there) because I saw in the opening credits that Ian Holm was in it. He plays this business guy who sits in an office in a tall building with a grey suit, which looks much different from Bilbo, and he is kind of mean.<P>Oh and Viggo in A Perfect Murder.

*peeps in* just to be patriotic, Mr Bloom was in <I>Ned Kelly</I> and lets not forget his upcoming role in <I>Troy</I>..but we are talking about current movies so I'll leave it at that and run out before you all kill me for being an Orli lover...

[Ophelia]

I do not know but has anybody menchioned the new film with Ian . It's called "Emil" . I kinda dunno what is it about but I saw the interwiew where he talked about LotR too . And as far as I saw what was goin' on on the set he has a grate sence of humor . And he is really good in realtions with kids .

[Alatáriël Lossëhelin]

I have to say that I'd never heard of most of the actors before seeing FotR. I <B>had</B> heard of Christopher Lee, but as I'm not a horror movie fan, I had never bothered to see any of his films. I had also heard of Sean Astin as my kids and their friends really loved "The Goonies", although I never saw it myself until a couple of weeks ago. I had never heard of Elijah Wood prior to FotR. But in reading a list of his films, I discovered that I <B>had</B> seen him in a movie before. Anyone remember "Paradise"? I saw it years ago and was surprised to read that he had played the little boy in the film.

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

I almost watched The Prophecy once at about 2 a.m. But unfortunately I didn't. And now I want to see Reign of Fire so I can spot Billy.<P>Ha ha, I got one that nobody else did! At least, I think so. Brad Dourif was in Mississippi Burning. Disturbing movie. <P>[EDIT]: Empire Records!! How could I have forgotten Empire Records!

Also, Billy has an upcoming role in Master and Commander. I think that's the one with Russell Crowe.

i found out today that john reys-daveis was in jungle book 2. he plays the father.

How did you get so big!?!?"

[Taralphiel]

Sean Bean is in <I>Troy</I> as well..he has been cast as Odysseus I think. has someone allready mentioned it *looks up*

[Melichus]

I just saw Brad Dourif in a haunting performance of a clairvoyant Death Row inmate in an old re-run of <I>The X-Files</I>. I believe the episode is called "Beyond the Sea"... I only bring it up because I suspect that by now we have exhausted just about every other movie role that these actors have been in, so I might as well resort to obscure television performances.

[Dûrvagor Cormyr]

Also, if it hadn't already been mentioned, Sean Bean was in Goldeneye, a bond movie.<BR>Also, the actor who played bilbo (my mind has gone blank of what his name is) was in Hamlet with Mel Gibson. And, for a movie that might come out, and is based on the video game splinter cell, viggo mortenson was recommended to be the main character. those are a few that i know.

[Taralphiel]

oh yeah! the 'she tastes like strawberries' line! very evil! <P>Oh yeah, and Ian Holm was in the Fifth Element as the Priest Cornelius *sp?* I loved that movie!

[Meneltarmacil]

David Wenham (Faramir) was in "The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course". He played the guy who was always getting attacked by the dogs. I know he looks SOOOO different than in LOTR but I guess that was because he had a lot of makeup to make him look more like Sean Bean.<P>Orlando Bloom (Legolas) is also going to be in "Pirates of the Caribbean".

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Orlando Bloom (Legolas) is also going to be in "Pirates of the Caribbean". <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Oh yeah, that'll be an eye opener for the rabid fangirls of Legolas! Already in the trailers he's kissing a girl...

I laughed when I read that David Wenham played a transvestite because I keep imagining Faramir in a dress. I'm sorry. Now I want to see Crocodile Hunter and Moulin Rouge. Pathetic, ain't it?<P>And I saw Billy in Reign of Fire! He looks different.

[Samwise]

Did anyone go to the LOTR movies thinking:<BR> <BR>"I want to see so-and-so (that they'd previously seen in another movie) play such-and-such character?"<P>I wanted to see how Sean Astin (who I hadn't seen in anything since GOONIES--NO, I'm not much of a cinemaphile) play Sam. The first time I saw FOTR he was the only one I was looking for.

[Eruwen]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>And I saw Billy in Reign of Fire! He looks different.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Doesn't he though? It might just be that he doesn't have his Hobbit stuff on though. But he looks so much younger to me. <P>Oh, and I always thought about something. Well, ever since I watched the Goonies, that is. I always wanted them to make a sequal to the Goonies of when everyone is all grown up. Just think. When we saw LOTR, we saw an all-grown up Mikey. If they made a 2nd Goonies, we would be seeing Sam as Mikey once again. That's just always something I thought about though.

[The Only Real Estel]

I wanted to see Ian McIllean play Gandalf & Sean Bean play Broimir. I bet this has been mentioned before, but we're all almost about to see Orlando Bloom in PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN! Score! ( not seeing Orli persay, more like seeing POTC, i'm male )

I can't see that anyone has answered Frodo Baggins' question yet about Brad Dourif, so I, an inveterate fan of Babylon 5, shall do so in part at least: Brad played a murderer turned monk in the third season episode "Passing Through Gethsemane." It is a wonderful episode with an outstanding acting job by Dourif!<P>Let's see, some other movies that I enjoyed with my favorite LOTR actors:<BR>Sean Astin: Harrison Bergeron (based on a Kurt Vonnegut short story-quite an interesting film!)<BR>Christopher Lee: gotta give another mention to Gormenghast! Someone mentioned it earlier, but Lee IS Mr. Flay! A must see!<BR>Ian McKellen: Richard III, Gods and Monsters, Restoration<BR>Elijah Wood: Radio Flyer (just remember a wagon flying off a cliff...)<BR>John Rhys-Davies: Sliders, a pretty cool TV series! And great as Macro in I, Claudius! Also who can forget John Hurt's Caligula?<BR>Ian Holm: Brazil (Terry Gilliam at his weirdest!), also Ian played Frodo in the BBC LOTR adaptation for radio!<BR>Peter Jackson (OK, not an actor): Meet the Feebles-the oddest live action puppetry --so different from LOTR I can't even BEGIN to tell you! You've just GOT to see it!<P>I'll end now, I"m sure there's lots more out there!<BR>Cheers,<BR>Lyta

I hadn't heard of these actors before FoTR come out, (except Christopher Lee, of course) but I'm not much for following these things. Afterwards though, I'm seeing these guys all over the place! One day I flipped on the TV while I was ironing and there was little Frodo in <I>The Good Son</I>! I had to watch the whole thing. Another day it was Boromir in <I>Patriot Games</I> and then some James Bond thing. There has been a steady stream of them.

I don't think that Dom is in T3 but there is someone that looks remarkably like him but they don't have the same voice so that tipped me off that it wasn't him. Yet I could be wrong because I have only seen the previews.

Nope I looked at the cast list and Dom is nowhere to be found. The guy that looks like him name is Nick Stahl. The saying must be true that there is at least 10 people in the world that look like you.

[Brinniel]

I just saw 'Pirates of the Caribbean,' which is one of the best movies I've seen. Yet, call me crazy, but after seeing this film I don't think Orlando Bloom's acting is at all extraordinary (though still acceptable). One reason for that may be because he is still inexperienced, which is a reasonable explanation. But I think the main reason was because he was working alongside Johnny Depp, whose performance as Captain Jack Sparrow was unforgettable. <P>On a different note: Doesn't Liv Tyler have a role in the upcoming movie 'Jersey Girl?'

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>I just saw 'Pirates of the Caribbean,' which is one of the best movies I've seen. Yet, call me crazy, but after seeing this film I don't think Orlando Bloom's acting is at all extraordinary (though still acceptable). One reason for that may be because he is still inexperienced, which is a reasonable explanation. But I think the main reason was because he was working alongside Johnny Depp, whose performance as Captain Jack Sparrow was unforgettable.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I saw this last night, and yes, I must admit his acting skills need to improve a bit. But her, he <B>is</B> still unexperienced and he's got time to work on them. I hate to say this though cause I am so not an "Orli Freak", but he did look really good in this movie. So all of you who actually are Orli Freaks would like to see this movie...if you havn't already. <P>Oh, and anyone who has seen it answer this. Was I the only one who was imagining Legolas up there doing all the fight scenes instead of Orlando as Will? It might have just been me, but after seeing LOTR so much I just can't get it out of my mind.

[Finwe]

You're not the only one. I was imagining Legolas instead of Orlando on the ship doing all the fight scenes too. Of course, when that kiss scene came around I nearly squeaked in surprise. Imagine Legolas kissing Keira Knightley in that gown. She'd be like, "You pansy! Get away from me!"

[Everdawn]

Pirates isnt out here till September! ahhhhhhhhh! im going to go crazy. <P>Meela, i was so scared by GI Jane you have no idea, there were screams in my house from all of my friends. I cant believe how scary he is! well, that is the mark of a great actor, the ability to get you to hate their character, like Jason Issacs in The Patriot.

I have watched Try Seventeen where Elijah Wood is the lead actor. The movie really sucks and Elijah looks so small compared to Mandy Moore and Franka Potente.<P>Isn't it amazing that Elijah Wood is in Deep Impact and Liv Tyler is in Armageddon???<P>Speaking of Liv, it's not exactly a movie.. but she appeared in a music video by Aerosmith (maybe everyone knows she is the daughter of Steven Tyler, the lead vocalist of Aerosmith). i think the video's title is "Crazy".<P>I really love Hugo Weaving's portrayal of Agent Smith!! Well.. it makes me fall out my seat laughing because he has this weird voice and everything...By the way, he will be in Matrix Revolutions, Part 3 of the Matrix.

I just saw Pirates of the Carribean with Orlando Bloom...the fan girls will die...I know i nearly did...he's pretty good in it...even if you don't like him you should see it, it was great...you get to see his real hair and he's not quite so....eh hem...covered up...*smashes head against wall for being rabid fangirl* btw Johnny Depp is amazing in it...the swordfights are great<P>Also, I just saw a preview for for Viggo Mortensen's new movie its called Hidalgo and its about this guy (Viggo) and his horse and he decides to take part in this race across a desert....it looks really good...for some reason it reminded me of the Mummy <P>Anyhow...'Pirates' is definitely great..I'm sure you can all hear the fangirls multiplying as we speak and Hidalgo looks really good... I guess now that they've been in such major movies Viggo and Orlando won't be able to be so inconspicuous anymore? do I smell teen idols? <p>[ July 12, 2003: Message edited by: Cinderella ]

[Gorwingel]

Yeah my sister just saw "Pirates..." (she is a mega Orlando fan), and she said that she thought that he was so hot in the movie that her tongue started bleeding because she was biting on it to keep from squeeling.<P>But off of the whole Orli subject...<P>Yes the Aerosmith video that Liv is in is called "Crazy". It is actually a very good video. She and Alicia Silverstone from "Clueless" star as two young girls basically running away from a very conservative school and going on a "Crazy" roadtrip. One of the main Liv highlights is when she takes part in amature night at a strip club (but no, there is no nudity).<P>Oh and that "Try Seventeen" movie is coming out on DVD. But they changed the name of it, it is now called "All I want" (just in case anyone wants to order it from Amazon)

[Eruwen]

All I want? Really, now, that's interesting. I wonder why they would change the title of the movie like that after it has already been shown to viewers?<P>Oh, and I didn't mean to get off on a whole "Orli fan moment" by telling my review of the movie. I noticed that after my comment of what he looked like that many other people began posting about how hot he was in the movie. Well, I don't really want to get in trouble by mods or nothing so really, I would advise that if you read my post above, not to pay attention to that slight comment. Just in case.

[The Saucepan Man]

I saw Andy Serkis in a film which I watched on DVD on Saturday night called <I>Deathwatch</I>, a so-so horror film set in a trench in World War One (watchable but nothing special). Serkis played one of the soldiers caught in the trench from hell. His character was a complete psychopath (very different to his Gollum character - psycho as opposed to schizo). I was rather disappointed in his performance, given his brilliance in bringing Gollum to life, since his character seemed rather one-dimensional. But that was probably the fault of the script rather than Serkis himself.

Going back to Brinniel's question about Tyler being in "Jersey Girl":<P> Yes, she'll be in it. Apparently as a video store clerk. I'm not sure what sort of screen time that means for her. <P>Has anyone else noticed that it seems like a lot of the actors who looked to start being in major roles are taking backround and/or supporting spots?

No problem Eruwen, you can find pretty close to all there is to find if you go to yahoo.com and then movies and search Greg's Previews for the movie title. He also has some links to other sites, sources, and even pictures sometimes.

[elle]

I was watching this movie, and Elijah was a hit man. I am not sure what the movie was , but his part was a change for him. I thought it was cute though, he he he. And Craig Parker is in the Xena series (tv). The LotR Actors are everywhere, so look out!

[balrogman]

I got a couple of things here:<P>Liv is in Jersey Girl, where from what ive heard Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez(SCHWING!) are lovers and Jennifer dies, so Ben Affleck fallis in love with Liv. its directed by Kevin Smith which means its gonna be pretty sweet<P>I havent seen the Goonies in a long time, and this is sorta off topic, but isnt Corey Feldman in it? Anyways Mikey was the best.<P>I saw Pirates of the Caribbean on opening day, and it was rad. Orlando was wicked in the movie, especially in the sword fights. Johhny Depp's character, Captain Jack Sparrow, was a memorable character and was funny as hell! i found myself leanin to my friends in the movie and sayin "no way Sparrow could beat an elf in a swordfight!"<P>Hidalgo with Viggo looks pretty cool, and thats comin from someone who HATES horses! but the whole desert storm scene in the trailer reminded me of the mummy too!<P>And another thing, since girls can have their Orlando Bloom, us dudes should have someone to "ogle", but the thing is LotR is kinda a bummer for chicks, Liv is pretty hot, but it needs a "STONE COLD BABE!" in there<P>wow that was a long post *catches breath*

[Eruwen]

Has anyone heard anything about the movies Thumbsucker {Elijah Wood} or Chasing the Laddie {Sean Astin}? They are supposed to come out this year, and I was wondering if anyone had heard any news about them.

[Finwe]

I was watching Young Hercules the other day, and I saw Craig Parker as Herc's half-brother Lucius. Talk about luscious! He was wearing black leather pants and a vest that left nothing to the imagination!

[Brinniel]

Strange... I don't remember Try Seventeen ever coming to theaters. I suppose it was never released where I live, which isn't surprising since a lot of movies aren't played at my town. I haven't heard anything on Hidalgo either; no trailers or anything. <P>When was Try Seventeen's theatrical release date and when does Hidalgo come out?

[Eruwen]

Try Seventeen supposedly came out in 2002 at some time, but I never heard of it playing either. I never even saw a preview! But can't really help you out with Hidalgo though due to the fact that I've never heard of it before now.

[Samwise]

I know this is wrong for most folks, but given the generation I'm from...<P>I have no plans to see "Pirates" by any stretch of the imagination--not 'cause Orli's in it, just 'cause it's not my kind of movie--but every time I see the commercials for it and see certain members of the <B>cast</B> on a <B>pirate ship</B>--I keep thinking "21 Jump Street meets Goonies meets Lord of the Rings...."

[Tarien Ithil]

I must admit that Pirates of the Caribbean has been a good chance for Oli to improve his acting skills and he has done well!<BR>It was an entertaining movie.

[Arwen Eruantale]

Quote by Brinniel (can anyone tell me how to do these proper?): <P> "When does Hidalgo come out?"<P> It comes out October 3rd this year. And looks to be pretty good. <BR>There's another "horsey movie" coming out a little sooner, August I believe, with "Spiderman" star Tobey Maguire: called "Seabiscut". Apparently both movies were accidentally set to be released in the same week, (the August one) but as "Seabiscut" had first dibs on it Disney pushed "Hidalgo" back to October. Imagine the competition if they'd left them....

[Meela]

A lot of the actors, being from NZ, have starred in a lot of the same tv shows, ie. Craig Parker and Marton Csokas were both in Xena and Hercules.<BR>Shortland Street starred 5 Lotr actors at various points: Craig, Marton, Karl Urban, Ian Hughes (Beregond), and Mark Ferguson (Gil-Galad).<BR>A lot of Australian actors probably worked together as well. David Wenham and Hugo Weaving were in 3 films together.<P>Oh, and the other day I taped A Midsummer Nights Dream and learnt that Bernard Hill was in it.

Yeah, I heard on the TV Guide channel that if the movie went well, they would do a series with Pirates of the Carribean. I'm not sure if this meant a series of movies or a tv series, but according to the news of the possible sequal, it might have meant series of movies...which is a VERY good thing for that movie rocks!

The only movies I really know that have LOTR actors in are Orlando Bloom movies. well, there are Pirates of the Caribbean, Ned Kelly, Troy, and black hawk Down.

I just saw Pirates of the Caribbean today. It was really cool!<P>Many of the actors in LOTR don't seem to have been in a lot of famous movies (with the exception of Christopher Lee, John Rhys-Davies and Ian Mckellen), but they seem to be getting into famous movies now.

It was so funny! In my world studies class, the last term, all the movies we watched had actors from Lord of the Rings in them! My best friend and me were having fun pointing them out. First we watched 'The Scarlet Pimpernel' (Ian M.) (it was so weird to see him! I kept thinking, 'Gandalf!!'), then we watched 'All Quiet on the Western Front' which had Ian Holm in it (that was weird to see also, He was tall! I've only seen him in LotR.), and then we watched Rudy (Sean Astin), Sadly we didn't get to finish that movie , but of what I saw it was so cute! Sean Astin was and is such a sweetie!<P>I've also seen the actors in different movies (of course) and it just seems so weird when I do. They'll always be Gandalf, Frodo, Sam, Legolas, Saruman, (etc.) to me. <P>Oh, and I did go see Pirates of the Carribean. I thought it was really good (and not just because of Orlando, though we was really dashing and hot)! I think it's cool how they're making the Disney rides into movies... puts more 'depth' to them.

[Lyta_Underhill]

I have watched and enjoyed "From Hell" several times, and I must say that Ian Holm is unforgettable. He gets a particular look in that film, his eyes turn jet black, and it is every bit as frightening as the Bilbo look, although less showy. Definitely worth seeing! (I do have a rule of thumb, though. If Johnny Depp is in it, it is worth seeing! :P ) (This excepts 21 Jumpstreet, however...)<P>Cheers,<BR>Lyta<p>[ July 22, 2003: Message edited by: Lyta_Underhill ]

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this but Ian Holm was in a movie called The Sweet Hereafter. A wonderfully beautifully melancholic film by Atom Egoyan. Holm's acting is marvellous in its effect and subtelty. Of course, he was brilliant in Alien. <P>And one cannot forget Christopher Lee, the greatest movie actor of all time (next to Vincent Price). He's been in over 200 movies so it would be kind of time consuming to name them all but if you see a movie with Christopher Lee, rent it, the rest of the movie may be crap but his performance is worth the rental (ex: star wars episode 2)

Also, he portrayed Mr. Flay in the BBC adaptation of Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast, and he was a friend of Peake when Peake still lived.

I wonderful book by the way! <P>And I think I saw him in another movie about a abused child sent to live with a widower in the country during WW2, but I can't recall the name of the film.<P>He did a fine job in both movies, (if it was indeed him in the second one).<p>[ August 06, 2003: Message edited by: Hilde Bracegirdle ]

LOLOL!!!<P>Well, a friend of mine and I went out to see Spy Kids 3 tonight. I THOUROUGHLY enjoyed it (as I did the other two movies--even though I got a bit of a headache from the 3D glasses because of an optical contition I have...) but anyway, the whole time, I was looking for "The GUY." <P>Then when three game testers are explaining to Juni about the sign with the silhouette... and "The GUY"...and I looked at the silouhette and thought--wait--the sil is too tall to be Juni...hold it...it's Elijah...HOLD IT...I'M thinking of Elijah Wood as TALL? <P>Then when he finally showed up I almost immediately BUSTED UP laughing!!!!<BR> <BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>"OOOPS."<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>My friend and I were talking later about if he'd shown up back at--the "lava" scene...<P>"Erm...excuse me, but while you guys are down there, could you toss this Ring in there for me? Thanks so much..."

He's not any taller than me, and I'm only 15. Sad to say, our little Hobbit is closer to being a Hobbit than I first thought as well. <P>I hope I get to see Spy Kids 3-D soon. I'm about to die to see Lij in it. I've heard too many good things...I have to see it.

[Samwise]

Hm. I remember the first time I read one of Little Mr. Wood's bio's, and there they had him as 5'6". But who knows, really--I've read diff. bios on Sean Astin and it seems in every one they delete or add an inch. I have one pic in my files of the Little One bending over to sign an autograph for a little girl--and needless to say, he didn't have to go very far. One of my friends titled the picture: "Was this trip really necessary?"<BR>Not that I have anything whatsoever against little guys. Not at ALL. After all, "Good things come in small packages". <BR>Back to the topic, I HIGHLY reccommend SK3, or any of the Spy Kids movies. I REALLY enjoyed the movie last night, though, it would have been absolutely excellent even without Li'l Mr. Wood's 20-30 second scene--but it WAS extremely fun seeing him.

But it certainly didn't hurt to have him, it sort of completed the whole thing, especially with the not-so-slighting LotR references in the second one...

[Maylin]

Yeah, when I saw Elijah in SK3 I about freaked out, but managed to contain myself..kinda. It was good to see him for that brief time

[Alakreiél]

Well for some more help, Karl urban who plays Eomer in the Two Towers is in Ghost Ship.<BR>Elijah~ Back to the Future 2 (he has a small part as the kid by the arcade machine, so young and cute), Deep Impact, The adventures of Huck Finn( He was Huck Finn in this movie), Flipper<BR>Sean Astin~ Goonies<BR>Sean Bean~ Goldeneye (Alec), Don't Say a Word<BR>Ian McKellen~ X-Men and X-men 2 (played Magneto in both)<BR>Viggo Mortenson~ G.I. Jane<BR>John Rhys-Davies~ Oh he's been in a lot but I can't thik of any other than Indiana Jones<BR>Orlando Bloom~ Pirates of the Carribean (Will Turner), Black Hawk Down, Ned Kelly<BR>Dominic Monaghan~ Umm all I can think of are T.V. shows<BR>Billy Boyd~ T.V. shows and stage plays<BR>Ian Holm~ Not sure of anything he's done<BR>So that's about all I have but you can find out more about the actors by going to <A HREF="http://www.lordoftherings.net" TARGET=_blank>www.lordoftherings.net</A> and Going to Cast you can find out more movies.

You noticed those too? You're right. Kind of "tied things together" didn't it? Pity all those people who don't like LOTR, but saw the SK movies and therefore didn't get it.... <BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>"My prrrecioussss."<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> {{{shiver}}} Personally I think that little guy could have been Andy Serkis' voice double....<p>[ August 09, 2003: Message edited by: Samwise ]

Of course I noticed them!

I feel a "great swell of pity" for all of them...

[Airerûthiel]

To the person who was asking about Dom being in T3: I thought that as well when I saw it (well, it was either him or Iceman from X2), but it's actually Nick Stahl. The resemblance is pretty striking though, I understand why you got mixed up

[Cleansed Curunir]

Robert Csokas was in <I>XXX</I>. I saw Elijah Wood(young version) in <I>The Good Son</I>, Christopher Lee was in one about being a werewolf(can't remember the title)and <I>Sleepy Hollow</I>, not to mention AOTC. Those are the most recent ones I've seen him in.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Did anybody besides me catch this?<BR>John Rhys-Davies does the voice over for Aladdin's father in "Aladdin and the King of Thieves".<BR> <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>Ha! I watched that movie while babysitting one night. <P>I always like to read the credits at the end of those silly Disney sequels, unfortunately to the youngest child's annoyance (six-year-old boys never have any patience). I shouted out in surprise when I saw John Rhys-Davies's name. When the children left to get ready for bed, I rewinded and replayed a scene with Aladdin's father in it, just to make sure I read the name correctly, and sure enough, it was John's voice. Now, how does an actor like him wind up playing roles in minor Disney sequels? It must be his big booming voice.

[Eruwen]

Uh, Apan, the link to your picture doesn't work. Nice try though! I was looking forward to that picture. <P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Now, how does an actor like him wind up playing roles in minor Disney sequels?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>You know I watched that movie so many times when I was little, and I never noticed that it was him. Oh, and Elijah Wood somehow got a part in a Disney cartoon as well. I haven't seen it, but it was the Adventures of Tom Thumb and Thumbelina. I think he did the voice for Tom Thumb. Even though I don't really like watching cartoons anymore, I would see this just to hear his voice.

[Arwen Eruantale]

I just watched <I>Alien</I> for the first time last night. <B>Good</B> movie...<P>Ian Holm was in it, he played the character called Ash (he was so much younger!) but for anyone who hasn't seen the movie, I shan't spoil the fate of his character. Now you'll just have to go out and rent it.

I don't think I saw Billy Boyd though; then again, he has a rather small part, doesn't he? <P>I saw Spy Kids 2, and I remember the reference to LOTR. "My prreeccciousssss..."<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I said to my friend that I saw the movie with that the boy could have been Andy Serkis' voice double. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I totally agree without question. LOL<P>I also saw Pirates, and I recommend you see it even if it isn't your type of movie. When Barbossa asked the girl for the pendant, I was expecting her to say something to the effect of, "No! We musn't let him have it, it's our preciousss, we wants it! Crrruel pirateses be mean to us, taking us prisssoner when we was hiding!" Yes, my mind is odd like that.

[Arwen Eruantale]

Alright, is it just me, or has Ian Holm been in <I>everything</I>?<P>Saw another one today, called "The Emperor's New Clothes" in which he played the fallen Napoleon, scheming to reclaim his throne. <BR>He does that crazed, creepy psychopath look uncannilly well.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>"One necklace to rule them all."<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I loved that line. <BR>I'm pretty sure my family was ready to burn me at the stake after a week of hearing me say that. *laughs*

[Arafangwen]

Has anyone seen 'Ash Wednesday' with Elijah Wood? My dad wouldn't let be see it, but I thought it looked good.

[Eruwen]

I just got a scoop on a movie coming out November 14, 2003 co-starring <B>Billy Boyd!!</B> It is called "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World". Has anyone else heard about this? His name is like the 3rd person in the cast list, so he is gonna be a big character in this!

When Will and Jack Sparrow were doing the swordfighting in the blacksmith's shop, I thought,"There goes Legolas, doing all his own stunts <I>again....</I> Kind of odd, though. Not a Lego fan, but a little voice in the back of my mind kept saying stuff like: "A <I>sword</I>? No, that's the wrong weapon for you. And besides that, your hair is the wrong color." (yes, I realize he's not really blonde...)

[Arwen Eruantale]

Hey I just saw a movie called <I>Dune</I> with my Dad last night. And thought I recognised one of the characters, a crazy looking "doctor". <BR>Come to the credits, and it was Brad Dourif! Very strange without the Grima makeup, but same sort of character. The psycho sidekick to the bad guy. <P>Still getting a kick outta that one...

[Iarwain]

Merry (Dominic Monaghan, I think) was recently in the Hetty Wainthrop Mystery series. Just though I'd share.<P>Iarwain

"It is by will alone I set my mind in motion...." I still quote a few of his lines from that movie, a rather odd, David Lynch take on the science fiction classic. I saw this in the theatre in 1984, and they handed out little booklets with a vocabulary so you would be able to follow the terms in the movie--it was THAT complicated. Luckily, and unluckily, I had read the book and instead of reading the booklets, my co-filmgoers asked me questions all through the film! <P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Alright, is it just me, or has Ian Holm been in everything?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>I think he has, actually! He is just too much fun to watch though! I might add him to the "men who can't say no" list (Michael Caine is a notable member), but I've really enjoyed every role I can remember having seen him in!<P>Cheers,<BR>Lyta

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

Well, well, well. Now I want to see SK2 and 3, even though I don't believe they will be very good. But, I can't judge a book--er, movie by its cover!<P>And for Boyd fans, here is a video of him in...*drumroll* Master and Commander! Hahaha! <A HREF="http://www.ninecompanions.net/MISC/billy_masterandcommander_trailer_loop.gif" TARGET=_blank>This one plays in a loop,</A> and <A HREF="http://www.ninecompanions.net/MISC/billy_masterandcommander_trailer_noloop.gif" TARGET=_blank>this one only plays once.</A> Same video, though.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>"It is by will alone I set my mind in motion...."<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>*laughing* We were up late and right after that line my Dad laughed and said: "I don't want to hear that tomorrow morning..."<P>It was actually a good movie, and Dourif was certainly a nice excuse to put it up here.

[Iarwain]

Correction. While "Hetty Wainthrop Investigates" was very new to me, apparently it is at least three years old. Looks like I posted a bit too late. <P>Iarwain

This thread has never been more than tangentially on-topic vis-a-vis LotR and Tolkien. In the interest of hewing to our All-Tolkien All the Time theme, I'm shutting it down, unless someone can PM me with an extraordinarily compelling reason why it should be reopened.
