<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>There's a lot of movieSam fans out there, but I'd have to say that Sean Astin was THE casting blunder of the movies. I can't remember him from any other movies, I'm just basing this on the way he plays (reads: destroys) Sam. Although the "Po-ta-toes" line was really well done. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Sorry can't agree with you there as I can't imagine anyone else playing Sam!<P>Sean Astin does as <B>wonderful</B> job as Samwise Gamgee, IMNSHO! He embodies all the qualities I came to love Sam for when I read the books...<P>And yes, I am a fan of the books too, having read those before I saw FOTR...
