A place to discuss Lord of the Rings, the Hobbit, and any of Tolkien's work! Bernard Hill appreciation post.

Soo…I am just going to spend the rest of the day crying! goodbye King, thank you for one of the most iconic scenes I've ever witnessed in a movie theater. HAIL THE VICTORIOUS DEAD!
Bernard Hill, as Theodin, is not only on par with he rest of them, but he gets some of the most impactful scenes/lines in the movies and somehow manages to add so much depth to them it hurts. From the sorrow in his first scene of him coming out of the fog and realizing his son is dead to his speech at the Ride of the Rohirrim.
Hill, playing the Captain, smiles proudly on the deck as the Titanic embarks and Tom Servo chimes in with an enthusiastic “I’m gonna sink this bitch!”. Wife and I say “I know your face” to each other on a weekly basis. Iconic line reading in this household.
