well this is a hard one. I mean, all of them I'm sure are very nice people, though it is hard to pick when you havent met any in real life yet.

I picked Viggo, of course, but no really, he does seem like a really nice guy.

But i have to say Elijah seems like a reallly nice person too. Or Sean Austin. Both of those guys are just great.

I picked Elijah because I sort-of-not-really know someone who met him and said he was really nice. Plus everyone always says how sweet and friendly he is.

I'd have to go with Elijah/Frodo. I've never ever met him and probably never will unless by some rare turn of events, but from the interviews and behind-scene-videos of LOTR, I'd say he seems like a funny, sweet, likeable kinda guy. Only an opinion though.

My choice isn't even on the list. I have to say Boromir (Sean Bean) He's from the same city as me and I've met him twice, both times he was really nice and approachable. He chatted to me for a few minutes both times so I have to say him.

Well as a horse lover and owner (my family owns two former race horses and a miniature) I would have to say Viggo just for the one instance on one of the EE discs for it talks about him buying one of the horses for one of the crew or stunt doubles - can't remember which. So nice.

I can't really say, honestly, consider I don't know any of them in real life, obviously. My reasoning isn't the best. But I f I *had* to choose I would have to go with Viggo Mortensen.

I don't know, not knowing them personally. But I'd have to say Sala Baker seems the coolest. Every picture I've seen of him, he looks 'nice'. But that's just what I'm saying, I don't know him or anyone else personally. But since I do know people who are nice and sweet when the camera's on and nasty when it's off, I couldn't tell you.

AS far as I know, definitely Viggo. The lady who doubled Arwen when she was riding a horse wanted to buy the horse who played Shadowfax for most of the movie, but she didn't have enough money. Viggo went to the auction and bought the horse for her, without charging her anything!!! How nice is that??
Lindarielwen, I hope that wherever you are it is incredible and filled with all the things that you love. Looking forward to our next meeting.

The nicest...? Hmmmmmm...... uhm..... er..... I wanna say Elijah, Bill, Dom, Sean, Sean, Liv, Lando, Viggo, Ian, Ian, PJ, Frodo, Pippin, Merry, Sam, Boromir, Arwen, Aragorn, Gandalf, Bilbo, PJ... and.... oh, yeah! Sauron. How could I have forgotten that prankster?

I think all seems nice in real life! But I think the so called "four Hobbit friends" are very nice in real life! I would so much liked to hang out with them a day or two!

David Wenham looks nice, but I wish Hugo Weaving was on the list... Still it was hard to choose with so many nice-looking actors

gotta love his portrayal of Haldir

My choice would be Viggo Mortensen. His kindness and generosity is legend. Plus, he is a wonderful photographer and the guy sings!

Have not met any of the cast in real life. But after fairly intense study of the LotR EEs (I think I have spent more time watching them than the movies!), I would also go with Viggo.

I'd have to go with Craig Parker for LOTR and Lee Pace for DoS.
We were one in the same, running like moths to the flame. You'd hang on every word I'd say, but now they only ricochet.

Lee Pace for DoS - definitely! He's awesome. I actually don't know who Craig Parker is. o.O I'll have to look him up - I love how he did Haldir! I voted Orlando Bloom though, as he has the most ADORABLE kid ever and said he wants to spend more time with him and be a big influence in his life. Can't help it, that's just too sweet.

Nicest? Hard to say. Bernard Hill seems to know which way his head is screwed on.

Oh, we cannot overlook Theoden, now can we? Yes, Hill did an amazing job as our Rohirric king.

Super hard question. I'd have to choose Viggo Mortensen, if only because I know more about him. He's kind and generous, and well, he lives in Idaho!! He is a fellow horse lover too. And he does a lot of stunts himself. And for all the macho men he plays, he is really a quiet, layed-back, talkative kind of guy. At least from what I've seen. But I could go on forever about him.

Orlando Bloom. He punched Justin Beiber in the face... doesn't get much better than that. No offense to any JB fans.

I'm going to have to go with Elijah. Although I have never met him (but I really want to!), from all of the talk shows and interviews, he seems really easy-going and nice. Also, his laugh is the cutest thing!

He is always friendly and helpful when I looked at behind the scenes commentary on the extra
DVDs from the extended version.
