Well, I've just been watching 'Goldeneye' so I'm in Sean Bean mode. Not that I didn't like him before that. I think he made a wonderful Boromir and is a great actor. (For England James!) His death scene left a solitary tear running down my cheek (and I .<I>never</I> cry without good reason!) <P>Coming a close second is Billy Boyd. He is so gorgeous (see moving picture thingy <--). I adore him. <P>As for characters, Boromir and Pippin are my favorites. (Sean Bean's portrayal made me like Boromir more, and I warmed to Pippin the first time I read the books). Boromir is a tragic character, very deep and interesting. Pippin, on the other hand, is humorus, curious, very hobbit like, and although he's foolish sometimes you can't help but feel for him. Sometimes he reminds me of myself. I also like Faramir and poor old Bilbo Baggins from the Hobbit.
