Viggo was good as Moses Hochleitner in Witness and was decent in Perfect Murder with Michael Douglas and Gweneth Paltrow. His paintings have received some good reviews over the years, but it's not my style. I enjoyed him as the reluctant hero.

I enjoyed Sean Astin in Rudy, Goonies, and Memphis Belle.

John Rhys-Davies: I liked him the IJ movies and The Living Daylights and on tv in Shogun, Nobel House, & Sliders.

Sean Bean (Boromir) also was in a Bond Movie (Goldeneye) and I also enjoyed him in Ronin, The Essex Boys, and Patriot Games.

I agree about Liv Tyler and grew up on Christopher Lee.

However, Cate Blanchett is my favorite star from these movies. She is a terrific actress and deserved to win the Oscar for Elizabeth instead of Gweneth Paltrow.

That's right, Sean Bean was in Patriot Games, and did a rather good job I'd say.

Now I do recall seeing some of those other films you mention, but can't recall seeing the LOTR actors in them...
