Yes Aragorn was another problem I had. He had a childhood in various countries which may explain the fact that he sometimes sounded quite Irish- try "Ride hard, don't look back" in FOTR. Or perhaps it was the strain of trying to sound different to how he really is?<P> Pippin, on the other hand, they did justify. They said that the fact that the Tooks had a "Thain" and that it's pronounced with the double O sounding like shoe rather then in look means that the Tooks are Scottish. Apparantly Billy Boyd started with an English accent, but they changed it!
