Someone mentioned that Dom was born in Berlin.. and I've read that too.. but I know that he grew up in the Manchester area. <P>I read about all the accents somewhere. And also, someone else wrote about that above, so I won't say it again. They were supposed to have different types of accents. And they are from different places of Middle Earth anyway. Pippin (Billy) definitely has a clear Scottish accent, and I think that Merry's is similar to Pippin's. I read somewhere that both of them had to change their accents a little bit. <P>I think that Sean (Astin) and Elijah did a great job with their accents, although I've noticed a few times when they slip out of them. It's, to me, more noticable with Elijah though.. as Sam has got an Irish type accent, which sounds more like American than British English does. I did also notice that moment though, that someone else mentioned as well, when he says: "What are you doing? Those wraiths are still out there!!".<P>With Elijah I noticed when he says "Get off the road.. quick!". It's just some parts of that that sounds more American to me. And also at other times. But he does a great accent.<P>It could be also because I've been listening very carefully. Also.. I'm not English, so. There could be accents in England that are like that. <P>But all in all they're all great.
