My knowledge of the boys at Helm's Deep:
Haleth was Phillipa's son, but by the time they did the ADR, the boy's voice had changed so they had to get another person to do the voice. The other boy by the fire was Viggo's son. Peter's boy, Billy, was the only un-wigged Hobbit in the entire movie. These bits of trivial trivia I've learned from the commentaries of FotR and TTT. Billy and Katie Jackson are in the credits as "Cute Hobbit Children" in FotR, I don't remember what they were called in the other two. I find it interesting that as a Hobbit-lass, Peter's daughter, Katie, is amazingly adorable, but as a Rohirric kid, she looks like Éomer... (my friend thinks so too) Looked like Katie again at Sam and Rosie's wedding to me, but since I didn't see Billy and they were already Gondorian children when Faramir was riding to his doom, I'm not certain. You guys know? ps Dern, am I on first-name basis with these people?............

I love cameos also. Another interesting Cameo is that Andy Serkis (I think that is how his name is spelled *Blush) is the guy at the very end of RotK carrying the pumpkin. He is everywhere.
Another really cool thing is: You know the scene in TTT between the three orcs at the point where they stop beside Fangorn Forest with Merry and Pippin in Tow, " We've only had moggotty bread for three stinkin' days." "Yea, why can't we have some meats?" " What about them, they're fresh." (Not exactly word for word, but you get the point) Anyway, those voices are all done by Andy Serkis. He sure likes to talk to himself, doesn't he? ps I only saw PJ as a corsair in RotK, anyone see him elsewhere?

If I am not mistaken, J. R. R. Tolkiens grandson had a cameo. I believe he was a Gondorian ranger who was riding out with Faramir to challenge the witchking.

I'm working my way through the commentaries on the RotK EE and have already heard the director's and authors' remarks. They mention several cameos in the third movie. Some of those have already been pointed out in the above posts, such as the fact that "Sam" and "Rosie" 's children are theirs, respectively, in real life. Also, Henry Mortensen (Viggo's son) plays in orc in the third film, the first one that Aragorn kills at the Pelennor Fields. And of course we all recognized the Jackson children in Gondor.
Royd Tolkien, J.R.R.'s grandson, plays a soldier of Gondor, the one giving out the spears at Osgiliath before the orcs attack from the river. Howard Shore was cast for a cameo role in the drinking scene with the Rohirrim, but unfortunately what was filmed landed on the cutting room floor. A number of crew members played extras and had fun doing it!

I had no idea that Tolkien actually had grandsons! Call me naive but I've never even thought of that before. I hadn't ever heard beyond Christopher Tolkien so this is news for me...
I would love to read the book by Simon one day. ![]()
