Me too! [In reply to] Can't Post
In Reply To
I love his portrayal of Balin. What a talented actor he is! Balin has always been a likeable character on the book, one of my favorites. Ken Stott really develops The character in a way that makes you like him even more. He brings so much depth to Balin's character!
He really is the glue. The dwarf grandfatherly sage that keeps that group going. I just love in the prologue how Thorin saves him when the dragon attacks and grabs him behind that pillar. I also think it's brilliant that he, instead of Thorin, is the eldest of the group. it really makes him stand out. I love his beard, I love his acting and just the way he conveys Balin's whole desire to see the quest through. I really now do cry in FOTR when we find his tomb in the MInes of Moria. it gives that scene so much more depth now (along with the scene where Gandalf talks to Frodo about the sparing of gollum by Bilbo). Brilliant. Just love it.
