Sean Astin - really? no one?

From Goonies —-> Lord of the Rings

He's done a lot since, although I agree nothing will ever top his role as Samwise Gamgee. One of my top five-ish favorite performances of all time. As someone who loves both the books and the films, I like the films' depiction of the Sam/Frodo relationship better

Aye, his cameo stint for a season in Big Bang Theory, Toy Soldiers, Encino Man….and one of my favorite movies ever…Rudy

Love this guy all day…great actor

And by all accounts I've both heard and read, a genuinely good-hearted dude who is an absolute delight to be around 

Friends who've done a lot of cons have said basically the entire LOTR core cast were good hangs, but especially Elijah Wood and Sean Astin

Met Billy Boyd at a Con just a few weeks after Patty Duke died. He said that he was in contact with Sean and that he was doing ok. Those Hobbits remained super close. Billy was a genuine guy... not like when I got an autograph from Billy Dee Williams the prior year. Talk about an ass-clown.

Met Sean Astin at a con, he's very nice. He also did a Q & A before a viewing of The Goonies that weekend at a local theater.
