I dislike Sam too - well, not really 'hate' but a mild annoyance at his servile ways and mostly at his 'jokes'. I groan when he's supposed to be funny. I almost prefer Gollum to him - on second thought, I definitely do, Gollum is much more interesting and funny!
As for another - it would have to be Arago-- ** splash go the rotten tomatoes **. Really, he strikes me as the sort of ambitious and arrogant type of fellow who does everything for a purpose, as if it all were a means to an end. Only at the end, with the Houses of Healing scene, my very cool feelings toward him sort of melted. Weirdly enough, though I don't quite like Viggo Mortensen, the movie Aragorn was more likeable to me.
