And Mithalwen, I'd add John McAndrew's Pippin, Andrew Seear's Faramir, and Douglas Livingstone's Gimli to the list of unbeatables you cite.

I don't disagree.. I could have mentioned many more of the cast..Andrew Seear's Faramir was remarkable and I was thinking of the performance as well as the writing when I said Faramir was all he should be. I am fascinated by your comments on Holm. I just foundhe pitched it brilliantly and put the moments of fierceness due to teh stress of the ring.
