Neither the Bean nor the Wood.

I think I just remembered. Could it by any chance be Viggo Mortensen, talking about his appearance as Strider in the Prancing Pony?

Ding ding ding! The nightingale has it! It was Viggo, but he was talking about when he was on the street after a gym workout and someone called the cops.

Oops. Oh well. I guess I was close enough. Thanks, Horsemaiden! Okay, here's a new one:

This is the actor speaking about his character. That's the only clue. Good luck!

No clue, so here I go with my usual round of guessing....

Viggo Mortensen?

No clue here either, but how about Elijah??

Wild guess: Liv? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

No one has it so far...

Mmmm...

Bernard Hill ?

Dom, then?

No, and no. I'm afraid this is turning out to be quite a hard one. A clue, perhaps?

Your clue, and it's a very obscure one, is "city". This has something to do with the actor's name. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

City ??? Er....no clue at ALL. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Sean Astin?

My input would be Sean Bean Wild guess...

Still no. Think of last name and words that have to do with a city...

Another clue: This actor does not appear in FOTR.

Just as a refresher, the guesses so far have been:
Viggo Mortensen
Elijah Wood
Liv Tyler
Bernard Hill
Dominic Monaghan
Sean Astin
Sean Bean

The quote was
This is the actor speaking about his character. Good luck!

Is it the one who plays Denenthor?? I can't remember his name!! [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Sadly, I cannot remember his name either, and it's not him.

The one who playes Faramir then?

Can't remember his name either, I'm totally stuck!! *asheamed* [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

It is Karl Urban. He plays Eomer.

Well, that was a hard one! I finally found a hard one! Hehehehe..... (choosing obscure quotes from obscure interviews really pays off)... [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Narduewen has it! "Urban" refers to cities, therefore the clue was city. Get it now?

Proceed, Narduewen! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Thank you! As for the next quote.

Ow.....

Viggo Mortensen?

Well, that is correct. On the first guess too. It's your go, Samwise.

Ow....

Okay, here you go.

Elijah perhaps? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Nope, not the Wunderkind. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

How about Orli then? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Nope.
Clue 1: The actor/actress is not American.

Wild random guess to break the hobbit-actor-first habit: John Rhys-Davies.

Miranda Otto?

No one has it, yet.

Christopher Lee?

Nope.

This actor/actress' character appeared...about midway through FOTR.

Surely you don't mean Hugo Weaving?

You're right, I don't. The character of this actor/actress appears...a bit later than Rivendell.

Cate Blanchett? Or her character's husband, Marton Csokas (probably spelled that wrong)

StarJewel probably got it right, but I'll venture to guess Lawrence Makoare (he played Lurtz).

StarJewel is correct. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Welcome to the 'downs and the thread! Find yourself a quote and post for us to take wild guesses at! (well, okay, MINE are mostly wild guesses...) [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Ok, I'm kind of new at this, so here goes

"They were fond of playing loud music in the mornings and it wasn't always to my liking."

A-HA! Finally one that I know! And I have to grab it before anyone else does! Muahahaha!

Ian McKellen.
