Sean Astin and Billy Boyd Panel - Fantasy Con 2014

Sean Astin is an actor and singer known for his roles as Rudy, Mike in the Goonies, and Samwise in the Lord of the Rings. Sean grew up as a true Hollywood child. His mother is Patty Duke (from the Patty Duke Show) and Sean considered his father to be John Astin (Gomez from the original Adam’s Family). Sean started acting at a young age but got his first gig at 10. Three years later he starred in The Goonies. After The Goonies he played in one of my favorite TV movies, Disney’s B.R.A.T Patrol and went on to be in Toy Soldiers, Encino Man and Rudy.
Children might recognize his voice as Oso on Disney’s Special Agent Oso and as Raphael on the 2012 animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
As a teen Billy worked as a book binder for 6 years he then went to college where he studied acting and even puppetry. Billy became an avid surfer during his free time in New Zealand. In 2006 his Scottish band, the Beefcakes, released their first album. That same year Billy became a father. Billy is known most for his role as Pippin on Lord of the Rings.
This year Sean and Billy spent time away from home to visit SLC’s Fantasy Con. It was more of a heart-felt comedy show than a convention panel. Enjoy!

Samwise Gamgee...most underrated Performance in the last decade!

[@oneworldfamily]

Im glad someone else thinks so too! In my eyes, Samwise is one of the truest heroes of LotR. His complete selfless service, humility and devotion are a lesson for the world.

My two favorite Hobbits! They're both adorable! I just got the chance to meet Billy Boyd at a con last week. He was so kind!

[@Squishy_Seal]

I envy you so much !!! Behind Frodo, Pippin's my favourite character and Billy just seems so nice and sweet !

[@dianewinchester6224]

They are still so hobbitty cute.

[@hwren9845]

I love what Sean had to say about respecting the nature of the space and how certain charges and restrictions are there for a reason. He was sweet but still firm and respectful. People need to learn that there are rules in place for a reason, even if they are disappointing, and it's irritating when people exploit the time they're been given to ask a question like that.

[@grahamwade5932]

[@japunaka]

33:23 What is this guy in the audience singing here? I know it from somewhere…pls help

[@Jessikacar]

This is awesome! Thanks for posting this video :) What is the game they are talking about at 22:40?

[@arwena102]

I might be wrong, but I remember something (maybe it's from the audio commentary?) about Billy and Dom inventing a new game only to mess with Elijah. They would change the rules all the time, or rather make them up as they went, and Elijah couldn't of course understand what he was doing wrong and why he was constantly losing.

[@TheMagicalGamer1]

What line was it that makes Sean cry? I cant make it out

[@SamisOkay]

David Ritchey When Aragorn says "my friends you bow to no one"
