They were credited as "Cute [Hobbit/Rohan] Children" in FotR and TTT, but I didn't see them in the RotK credits at all. But maybe I just missed it.
I noticed them in the RotK credits, I think as "Featured Children."
Oh, I get it. You just don't like who did the rescuing, that's all. Wishin' I was your boyfriend what's-his-height. Oh wait, he's run off.

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".

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

No, the commander in RotK was also a warg rider. The pale orc with the deformed face, right?

Anne, back to the elven cloaks, got nothing new for you. The Te Papa Museum has a Lord of the Rings store that sells cloaks (not elven cloaks unfortunately) and scarves and throws made out of fabric woven by Stansborough Weavers. They are located in Auckland, so pricey.
There's a Yahoo group for LOTR costumes also. I don't know if they'll ever give away the secret of the elven wool, but it can't hurt to ask. A lot of it is in the Stansborough Gotland sheep and their particular wool.

Dear heaven, the cloak fabric scarf is $99!
sumi, sorry. Yes, the big pale orc in RotK with the deformed face. He may have been one of the orc riders in TTT, and actually he did ride a warg in RotK, through the ranks while they waited to attack. But he wasn't played by the same actor who played the warg rider in TTT whose mount took Aragorn over the cliff. He was played by LM, who played Lurtz and the Witch King in FotR. LM didn't work much (if at all) in TTT because he was off being in a Bond movie.

Well, I figure that if he rides an warg, he's a warg-rider. But perhaps his deformities were a continuation of the deterioration that they wanted the orcs and uruks to display from one film to the next.

He was pretty disgusting, it's true. Oooh, nice post number, sumi!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Viggo continues to weird me out. I'm sure he's great, and it's just a me issue, but still.

I like the eccentricity -- keeps him from being too Viggo-Sue.
(And yay me with the nice number earlier!)

On the other hand, Billy comes across as incredibly warm and gracious.
