Well, he did major in English Lit - he just happened to focus on American works. I'm not surprised that, once he read the works and studied them, he really absorbed the themes and motivations behind the story really well. Listening to him talk about Ents really indicated to me that he understood Tolkien as well as any Tolkien scholar. While it might be a stretch for most actors, it is arguable that Sean Astin might be the greatest scholarly authority on Samwise Gamgee alive - he's got both the scholarly background to know what to look for as well as the chance to have lived the part.

And loyalty, as well, it was so extreme that when they were filming Lord of the Rings, Sean Astin who plays Sam took it as far as fetching coffee for him, making sure his clothes were washed and folded neatly, and even getting onto some of the crew and others and taking a protective stance on everything to do with Elijah, because he was in character for the entire time they filmed it, as a method actor. He took the whole "Sam is Frodo's undyingly loyal servant" thing to heart and it shows in his performance, the best either of them have ever given.

“You can’t watch all of them at once.” Samwise said confidently. “Yes you can!” Stephen replied, with even greater confidence.

Almost 15 years later, and the film industry still hasn’t managed to create (an adapted or original) trilogy of films, all-around as good as Lord of the Rings. The cinematography, practical effects (even the CGI still holds up), casting, and original score are so superior to any other film series that has come out since.

I'm English - and I can honestly say that I was truly impressed by both Sam's and Frodo's English accents. Sam sounded like a country boy from down Somerset way, and Frodo the rather posher son of the local gentry. Absolutely spot on - and just perfect! I hope Sean's children read LotR and love it too. Every young person should read it and be taught the meaning of honour, loyalty, selflessness and the meaning of true friendship.

It's incredible that Sean was cast to play one of the most iconic characters written in the 20th century. Sam didn't understand the implications of what he was getting wrapped up in. All he knew is that his friend Frodo needed his help. In much the same way, Sean seemed to grasp the gravitas of what it meant to be offered the role of Sam and delivered one of the most iconic performances in the history of film. His portrayal of Sam is beautiful because it's real - it's about loving something bigger than yourself and playing your small part that you believe in.

I love that he's willing to talk about LOTR still. So many actors get (understandably) tired of talking about popular things they were in but this is really lovely.

There is also the fact that the only reason they managed to get so close to Mordor was that Sauron and the Nazgul were distracted by the Army of Men at the black gate. If they flew straight there they probably would have been intercepted by the Nazgul or some other servant of Sauron like a Wyrm.

Sean was a guest at the Cincinnati Comic Expo several years ago, and he did something that will forever cement him in my heart as a fantastic person. There were a ton of fans at his panel with other Tolkien/Jackson actors (I think Graham McTavish and possibly William Kircher), and the line for questions was getting too long for the allotted time. The moderator announced that only 1 or 2 more could be answered, and Sean said (not exactly, but the basic gist): " No. We are going to answer all these people's questions because they paid good money to come here and have a special moment." I just freaking wanted to hug him.

there are really nice audiobooks of the hobbit narrated by Andy Serkis and the Lord of The Rings trilogy freely available on KZread. Definitely recommend checking them out!

Samwise ... sigh. This man is a hero for me, for being so perfect as the one who was really the heart of the LotR trilogy.

Lord Of The Rings casting is absolutely perfect.

One of the most talented actors of all time he really deserves another lead role some day

Rewatching Lord of the Rings every year or so is a ritual of mine, and it never fails to move me. Also, Stephen should absolutely host a cast and crew reunion of Lord of the Rings on his show.

1:05 Stephen trying to calm himself when Sean isn't looking. You can just see how he wants to scream like the fanboy he is. XD

I love when Stephen fangirls out over LoTR.

Is nobody gonna acknowledge how amazing Sean's laugh is?

There's such a purity to his laugh

As an Englishman he nailed the accent, and it was a regional west country one think Thomas Hardy, well done you can count on one finger how many yanks have done that!

Wait a minute, what were Sean questions for Stephen? Come on Late Show editor person release the full version of this or at least the questions part.

Aw, he seems like a cutie! And I like that he seems to really appreciate the projects he's been in!

Damn I'm getting old. He looks so much older but still has that sweet face. No one ever mentions Toy soldiers. He was great in that.

I dont know whether it is just me or not. Everytime I see him, I see his genuine smile and a true friendship. Samwise, we do not deserve you.

Samwise Gamgee is definitely my most favorite character in the movie! He provided moral strength for us to keep going on thru adversities! I hope to meet a Sam in my life! Very inspirational character!!

I really wanted to hear the questions Astin had for Colbert about LOTR.

He's such a sweetie.

The fact that he said Sam would never consider himself the hero, is such a Sam thing to say

His laugh is so adorable and contagious haha. Sam is our hero. Without him, Frodo would have been lost.

Listening to Sean talk you can hear the child-like, 'Christmas Morning' excitement, that was so reminiscent of his dad ring through.

Sean deserves way more roles than he gets seems like such a likeable guy and based on return of the king an incredible actor.
