Yes, Sean apparently is the grown-up of the group! Him and John Rhys Davies...have no idea of Elijah's leanings, but I think that is just as well...I think he is a smart young man...
did not see Ash Wednesday...and I think you are right: he is trying to get as far awy from Frodo as possible. I dont blame him and wish him luck. He is (along with Sean) an extremely talented young actor, and hope he can find parts that are more 'mainstream' that will allow him to show his full range. Tom Hanks was able to do it, but I do not think films where he goes to the lowest common denominator is going to do it for him. Just because it is perverted, doesnt mean it is uplifting...and those are the parts that people remember the best.
As for his opinions, he keeps them to himself. For someone who is in his early twenties, he's very intelligent and I believe his future is looking good!
