I thought I'd drag this thread out from hiding so it could be beaten around a bit more. Seems like many people are upset about the Mouth of Sauron being left out of The Return of the King.Some are holding out hope that he will be reinstated for the extended edition, but I doubt it: I heard the unmistakable Australian Drawl of Bruce Spence (crazy gyro man from Mad Max) at the Harlond. Tie me Orkaroo down, mate! There's no confusing him with someone from Mordor (err, yeah, nice work on the dialogue coaching there, team!). Since he was the actor rumoured to be playing Mouth, I can only conclude that his character was called the Mouth of Sauron, but had his role dramatically cut down a la Shagrat. Any thoughts?
