    They’ve been running this gig for over 20 years and are still so courteous to fans and answering questions that they’ve probably been asked a million times before - a true testament to how impactful these films and this experience was for them.

      I'm not sure they really get worn out about it, because as actors, they have all gone on to do different projects in TV, cinema, and theater ever since. They have had to get their heads into different roles and characters and settings, while also having families at home. They all split up from each other for a while, but the 20th anniversary of Fellowship in 2021 brought many of them back together and it has been like watching them relive memories for the first time.
      We as fans can be focused on the universe, watching all of the extras over and over again, and feeling (constantly) immersed in that world, but again, as actors, they have had to get their headspace into very different worlds. For them, this probably feels like...there and back again.

    Lord of the Rings is woven into my life and I'm so grateful I got to experience it when it premiered, what a time to be alive!

      It’s a complex mix of that reasoning plus the Ring’s temptations - the Ring is using Sam’s natural fear for Frodo’s wellbeing to make him want to keep it and spare Frodo. Sam is aware of the Ring’s effect on Frodo but the Ring is taking advantage of that.

    I'm not sure they really get worn out about this reunions, because as actors, they have all gone on to do different projects in TV, cinema, and theater ever since. They have had to get their heads into different roles, characters, and settings, while also having families at home. They all split up from each other for a while, but the 20th anniversary of Fellowship in 2021 brought many of them back together and it has been like watching them relive memories for the first time.
    We as fans can be focused on the genre, watching all of the extras over and over again, and feeling (constantly) immersed in that universe, but again, as actors, they have had to get their headspace into very different worlds. For them, this probably feels like...there and back again.
