I've seen ROTK 3 times now, and each time I've been looking for Tolkien's great great nephew(or something like that) in the movie, he was in it. He was one of the Ithilien rangers guarding Osgiliath, which one was he? It'd be quite cool

I dont know, but do you have a picture of how he looks like in real life.

He's in one of the World Premiere galleries in TORn, Gandollum. Just look in the archives.

I would be sooo grateful to be a Tolkien right now! That's an amazing family history. And to be invited to have a cameo in ROTK? That would ROCK!!!

Ive seen him on the TV (he was on the news because hes got a business in North Wales, so suddenly the whole of Wales loves him :D )
I didnt spot him on the big screen though.

You wouldn't be so grateful if you had to put up with that jackass Chirstopher Tolkien. He permenately shunned his own son and grandson from his life and the Tolkien estate just because they saw the movies.

Hey CT: Go to hell! :evil:

Wow. What a bastard. :eek: :mad:

Everytime I read about Christopher Tolkien on these movies I immediately think of Denethor. But let's not forget the good things he's done! He brought us all the great books after JRR died! The Silmarillion! Unfinished Tales! The Letters of JRR Tolkien.

But I again, I repeat: bastard.
