Well I think there are other threads on topics similar to this. But anyway...<BR>I have been very fortunate to meet the very lovely Sir Ian McKellan, Brad Dourif, Richard Taylor (head of Weta, special effects), Sean Astin, Andy Serkis, and Craig Parker (Haldir). I have also been lucky enough to have been in the same room as Elijah Wood and Dominic Monaghan (20 feet away in the autograph line when they cut it off! so close yet so far away). I have not been to a premiere, but it is just that there happens to be a large group of very active LOTR fans up here in Washington State, who happen to have a lot of cons, that attract the actors. And additionally I also traveled down to San Diego for the very large and popular Comic-Con.
