Your Middle-earth Role - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Definitely one of the outlaws of Amon Rûdh. Androg or perhaps the leader of the company, whose name I forgot: you know, the one who harassed the homestead women and was slain by Turin. These characters are multidimensional, quite nasty fellows for sure, but nasty for a reason, and certainly not altogether bad either. Also, these guys aren't given that much space in the books, so you have some leeway in your interpretation.

Personality wise, I'm probably most like Eowyn. I've been a tomboy for years now, though I can't ride a horse and killing a Witch King would do me much more damage. She was probably one of my favorite female characters in LOTR though.

Another one I'd love to play would be Pippin. In the books and the movie he's a general clown, and thus gets to do some really funny things. Also, in the movies at least (It's been so long since I've read the books

) he gets to sing! I love singing, though I'd have to sing his parts up an octave at least I imagine.

Long ago...I did dress up as Frodo for my birthday and went to the mall via a city bus.

Well, from my height and voice, I'd most likely pull off Beorn. My hair is a very dark brown, but not quite black, and I'm fairly burly, as a rule. I was also a vegetarian for 8 years, and for most of those years I played hockey (to sort-of emulate Beorn being a master woodsman and a pretty good warrior). I don't know that I could sustain only on honey, clotted cream, and biscuits though.

I also like bears, and most other animals. I can sort of hear Beorn's gruff, sometimes not-so-used voice as a deep, gravelly, truly bruinesque voice.

But that's just me.

Well, if we want to take a realistic approach, I doubt I'd get any role, maybe at most "Hobbit extra" or "Esgarothian extra" (in TH film) which is not too flattering maybe.

But wait twenty years and I'd do my best to give you a convincing Haleth, one of the characters I admire the most...

PS.

I doubt it... but I do have a very blue-eyed Tom Bombadil as my father, does that count?

No need to be realistic! Use your wildest imaginings!

There's no way I could pass for Gandalf, but it would still be my fave role

In that case I will have Richard Armitage as my Faramir... David Wenham is nice enough looking but Numenorean he ain't.

Alright, if that's to be the casting choice for Faramir then I'll just have to fight you for the role of Eowyn.

Ok, that explains it I guess.

I think Queen Beruthiel would be an interesting part (but not for me).
