Didn't realize his (actor's) name. Indeed, there was a good bit lacking in the 3rd movie w.r.t. him. (the part where the Palantir gets thrown out, etc.) And definitely the Cleansing of the Shire is a notable omission. It would be cool if they included that, that alone would have to be another 30 mins of footage probably. I've read the books (all 5 incl. hobbit & Silmarillion) many times over, they are one of (if not THE) greatest stories ever told IMNSHO. -Ed
