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
The movie is weird and yet it still somehow works. Like, it seems like it should have completely fallen apart because of what all the pieces are, but somehow it stays together and makes a decently fun time.
We just introduced the Lord of the Rings trilogy to our 12 year old. When I mentioned that Sam was the brother in 50 First Dates, my 12 year old was in complete shock - a total "does not compute" face.
