He'll take me with him, right, Jess? He'll take us both, right? Right?

LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".
Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".

Okay, I hate your husband, too, Jess.
::sigh::
But it sounds very cool, and if he wants to come by and tell us the fun bits, that'd be okay too.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My answer to "any questions you want me to ask?" was "Would you like to come home with me and meet my wife?"
So there is hope.
(Not really. But I can fantasize.)

My secret little question I would want to ask the cast/crew that I have never seen asked is if there was a cast member that just hated the books - or even - and this I highly doubt would ever be answered honestly - didn't read them. Everyone always talks about how much the books were revered on set, but *somebody* had to just hate them or at least feel meh about them, right?
But that is me - and my own little curiosities.

Actually, Elijah Wood never did read the books, although he has read The Hobbit.

Also I thought Sir Ian had not read them before filming started? Or did he read them after he got offered the part?

I think that Viggo said he hadn't read the books, but his son had and his son thought the idea of his father playing Strider would be way cool. Hence Viggo's last minute acceptance of the role.

Sir Ian read them after he read the script.
I am really surprised that EW didn't read them. Like, really.

I know lots of the actors didn't read them until after they got the parts - but not to have read them at all? That is just weird. I mean - you're in NZ for a while, got a lot of time on your hands, I am thinking there might be a copy or two laying around the set.
