Snowflake 2024 - Challenge 6

[prisca]

In your own space, share a favorite piece of original canon (a show, a specific TV episode, a storyline, a book or series, a scene from a movie, etc) and explain why you love it so much.

I have thought about this challenge for a while and finally decided to go with Sean Astin. Since I watched 'The Lord of the Rings' he has been one of my most famous actors.

Yes, I will admit he has done some cheesy movies, but there are other movies / TV series that are just great, and I can watch them repeatedly, even after all the years. Like Jeremiah, where he played Mr. Smith in the second season (after this, the series sadly was canceled, which still makes me sad because the story of Mr. Smith is for sure not told to the end. Luckily, we fans always have fanfiction to fix whatever needs to be fixed. ;)

I will add a video I made aaaages ago; don't expect too much, there are only some screenshots I put together, accompanied by a score from 'Touchdown'. Sean's most famous roles for me back then; most of them still are.

Love your love for Sean Astin. I worried about who they were going to cast as Sam and I needn't have been because he was perfect. Such an underrated actor who always nails it even if the job itself isn't that great. I'm still upset about his death in Stranger Things.

Your vid is lovely - such a great celebration of an actor you obviously adore.

Thanks. It was the most exciting thing ever to meet him once.
