hey...do you mean Faramir???? Boromir died in the first movie and other than the extended versions you never saw him with his father. The guy that played Faramir was David Wenham. I loved him in that scene too.
Although I think the truely best scenes in LOTR were in ROTK with Frodo and Sam at the end. They suck me in everytime!!!! I bawl like a baby when Frodo and Sam hug at the Grey Havens. And when Aragorn is like...My friends, you bow to know one and everyone bows to the hobbits. OMG...**SOB** Yeah....movies suck me in. I can't help it.
🙁
wow,will anyobody but mememtion someone whos *not*a teenage heartthrob...gomen,i judge people on their acting,not looks/frankly,Orlando just isn't that good.and hes talentless compared to Jack Nicklson(my pick)It see,s like all the not so hot guys are always better actors...well..besides Jonny Depp,but hes been in the buisness a long time..
There are a brithish actor called John Hurt that is one of the best character actors of all time. The guy is just fabulous in all his movie roles, even if the movie isnt so good. He becomes the character in a way that i havent seen before . He was Kane, the first victim of the alien in alien, he was max, the hippie prissioner in midnight express, he was john merrick aka the elephant man, he was reciently in hellboy as the old professor . This guy is has so class and talent that is one of the most underrated actors of all time.

Russel Crowe is too intense... He was good in a Beautiful Mind and Master and Commander, but other than that... meh.
Laurence Fishburne is great.
Gregory Peck- Atticus in To Kill a Mockingbird. Part of the reason he was so great in that movie is because his character was so much like himself in real life.
Denzel Washington- uh... that one guy... in Glory. Everything else with him is just okay, but he was incredible in that movie.
Johnny Depp- not as good as the other two, but I still like him.
Christopher Lee- to me, he's the ultimate "bad guy". He's great in almost all his movies.
Ladies, hate to burst your bubble, but Orlando Bloom can't act to save his life.
Actors that are overrated:
Orlando Bloom- he's just... bad.
Liv Tyler- she creeps me out for some reason. She talks to quietly. Like at the Oscars...
Elijah Wood- he was pretty good in LOTR, but he's still overrated.
Billy Boyd- same as above. Dominic Monaghan is better than both of them.
Hayden Christiansen- alright, I'll be honest. I just hate this guy.
Natalie Portman- same as above.
Julia Roberts- can't put my finger on it, she just bothers me. And I don't get why everybody thinks she's so pretty either. I think she's downright ugly, personally.
There are three actors who I respect more than any other in Hollywood:
Dustin Hoffman - No one does the average joe better than him; the most likeable guy in the business. Completely and utterly convincing no matter what the role, and even though he's made some bad career choices, he lifts even the blandest movie.
Dennis Hopper - The total opposite to Hoffman. Deranged but brilliant. Again some bad career choices, but thanks to him, I actually semi-enjoyed the travesty of a movie that was Speed. And anyone whos seen that movie will know thats no small achievement.
Robert DeNiro - Colossal screen presence, magnificent sense of timing, can be as intense as a petrol-fire one minute, and distant and casual the next, dominates every movie he's in, the only actor in history to have out-performed Christopher Walken and Al Pacino....I could go on all day about this man.
Some other great actors and actresses:
Michelle Pfeiffer
Jodie Foster
Susan Sarandon
Meryl Streep
Glenn Close
Sissi Spaceck
Angelica Houston
Jessica Lange
Sally Field
Robert De Niro
Dustin Hoffman
Jack Nicholson
Marlon Brando
Al Pacino
Kevin Spacey
Alec Guiness
Gary Oldman
Danniel Day Lewis
Christopher Walken
John Malkovich
Anthony Hopkins
Sean Penn
Sean Connery
Michael Caine

And a little thing, i dont know how some fangirls could vote orlando bloom as a great actor, come one, the guy cant act. That is ridiculous.
Amen. The only reason all those fangirls are voting for Orlando is because of his f***ing looks!!! God, it just pisses me off they way you girls can say he's a great actor! I mean, he shouldn't have gotten the role of Legolas in the first place! And I seriously feel bad for Johnny Depp for having to put up with Orlando in Pirates of the Caribbean. Orlando just kind of ruined the whole movie for me. This is a thread about who makes you BELIEVE when they act!!! Not a thread about some damn "hearthrob" that almost every single girl likes just because he has a pretty face. I hate it that practically every teen chick is in love with Orlando. The only teenage girls that I know that don't like Orlando is me and one of my friends. Personally, I think he's one of the worst actors there is. Ugh. I'm really pissed right now....I gotta go...do something...go to the Dom thread or something...eh...
Uhmm.....So what, PR? Did you notice that even I didn't put Billy on my list??.... I can't say that he makes me believe cause I've only seen one of his movies....Sean Astin and Johnny Depp and whoever else I listed are brilliant actors....Oh, and I'd like to add Mel Gibson for Braveheart on my list...I just got done watching it....I cried 🙁 THAT'S great acting.
