Sam is absolutely the hero, and Sam would definitely say he isn’t.

It’s so funny. You have on that cast Sir Christopher Lee, who literally met Tolkien, and Sean Astin, who was like “Lord of the what?”

“You can’t watch all of them at once” there’s where you’re wrong Samwise. Also “extended cut” is the only cut we watch.

Kent (Melissa's Version) :
Sean Astin was born to play Samwise. No other actor would have been able to give him life in such a genuine way. I will die on this hill.

“Sam would never consider himself the hero” that’s one of the many reasons that Sam IS the hero!!!

And that's why he was so good as Sam. He did the WORK. Reading those books three times through is a LOT, even a lot of fantasy fans.

I want a lecture series from Colbert on the books. Would buy the tickets. Would enroll. Add to cart.

That last answer proves he knows the character. That is the Sam-est answer to that question. 🥰

Sean/Sams monologue at the end of the Two Towers is one of the most well delivered pieces of dialogue on film and I will never get tired of singing his praises.

“Frodo wouldn’t have got far without Sam” 🥹🥺🥹🥺😭😭😭😭

He speaks nothing but the truth that Sam would NEVER agree that he is the hero of the story (but of course he is!).

He’s right, Sam would not have wanted to be the hero. Sean Astin truly one of my favorite actors

I was a delegate at last year’s SAG-AFTRA Convention. Sean is a GEM. REALLY nice man. What a beautiful surprise given his Hollywood famous upbringing. He’s so sweet, grounded. Really lovely man!

david_andre_melchor :
People gotta stop, nope, Professor Tolkien essentially said his favourite hero was Sam, he could relate best to him. But pretending Sam was a greater hero than Frodo just shows how little people understand about the nature of the One Ring. Frodo was the best option for a ring-bearer, an impossible task, but he was the best choice possible

“You can’t watch them all in one day” mind you, at least once a month I have a “lord of the rings day” where I do, in fact, watch them all in one day 😂

Finding out what a fan Colbert is of LOTR makes me love him even more! Yes you absolutely can watch the movies back to back!
