Who do you reckon was the best actors in LotR? I think Miranda Otto was the best actress, but I like alot of the actors. Viggo was great, Elijah was good, really, except for one of two *cough* Orlando Bloom *cough* lol. I'm expecting a barrage of hate mail now. I think Orly looked the part, just wasn't good at acting the part, no offence to anyone. I thought the best two actors were Sean Astin, especially in RotK, he deserves all the praise he getsm and Bernard Hill was good too, he made Theoden one of my favourite characters. Who do you think was particularly good? Personally, I think Treebeard wasn't very good, his acting was a bit wooden. Hee hee hee, sorry, I couldn't help it *hangs head in shame.* No, I love Treebeard really  . |

All of the actors were brilliant in there parts, They cast them all really well.
But to pick just a few. It'll be difficult to choose but I'll pick one from each movie.
Fellowship: Sean Bean - Every moment he was on the screen I was completely drawn in to who Boromir was.
Two Towers: Bernard Hill - Just an absolute joy to watch every scene he was in.
Return of the King: This one was the most difficult choice. So I've cheated and picked two. Sean Astin and John Noble.
Both acted out of there skins and just drew you in to everything. Sams emotional journey just touched my heart. Denethors madness was just as disturbing to watch as it was to read.
Everyone though was wonderful to watch. Ian McKellen, Hugo Weaving, Christopher Lee, Viggo Mortensen, Miranda Otto, yes even Orlando did good. *dodges tomatoes*

I think Elijah and Frodo were the best actors. They had some REALLY challenging roles to play (ALOT of crying!!) and they played those parts magnificantly. They BOTH should've won awards for their roles on LOTR, but they didn't. Who's running these blasted awards shows anyway?!!  |

Well, I think the best actress was Cate Blanchett, but I also think that Miranda was great too (she's my favourite actress, but I think Cate was just a tinsy bit better ) Best actor was either Sean Astin, Christopher Lee, or Andy Serkis |

I would say it is a tie between Viggo and Ian for best actor. Best actress was Liv Tyler...

I think Cate Blanchett's a good actress but there wasn't really enough for her talent to show. It's the same with Liv; someone said to me and I quote 'Liv Tyler is a cracking actress but not in LotR' and I agree with that. There's just not enough for her and Cate to do to show their ability as her story was so...I can't think of the word but anyway, Miranda was the best actress coz she had the depth of her character to work with, and a great storyline. I think so anyway... |

For me the best actor was a toss up between Ian McKellen and Sean Astin. They both really brought new dimensions to the characters they portrayed. For me the best actress was Miranda Otto. I love all her work especially in Human Nature. She really brought my favorite character to life. Although both Liv and Cate were great in their roles, there just wasn't as much depth to the characters they portrayed (mainly because they aren't written about that much in the books). I do think they are both great actresses though.
