Hello! I apologize for leaving you folks in the lurch. I get lost in this place since they changed the format.

Any way, according to what I've read (both in a magazine, and here), aside from stepping on the glass, Mr. Astin also:
  • Had an 80-pound statue or some such fall on his head while in Rivendell, knocking him unconcious. The lump that began to grow on his head actually started lifting his wig off.
  • During a swordfight, he had a tooth knocked out and requested that his tooth be glued back in so that they could finish the scene.

The last one I learned here in another quiz game. Elijah Wood said "He's incredible" and began to describe the incident. I remember wondering why "Sam" didn't just pack up and go home at that point.

Anyway, by my count, unless you folks would like to decide otherwise, Orcrist has given the most answers, so it's his go.
