"They're long movies, you can't watch them all at once."
"Yes you can."
LMAO😂😂😂
I was waiting for Colbert to come back also with "only three times?"
Yeah, you can. Lol.
I am watching it right now for the 30th time.
@@terryc4883 is that an exaggeration? Or is it just that good lol
@@Aethelhadas I watched them a lot. I had two sets of dvds cause I warped one.
He was perfect casting for Sam. It's his sweet nature.
That and the fact that he looks like the state of Indiana in human form.
Sean is definitely one of the sweetest human beings on earth. He is one of only about ten actors that I would actually like to KNOW.
I agree!
Peter Jackson chose well.
I am a fan of Lord of the rings. And Sean Astin playing as Sam became my favorite character.
Imagine if Chris Evans or Sebastian Stan took the role of Samwise. It would be a total disaster.
“It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo.” The monologue that shatters my heart every single time.
And his children asks him bout LOTR! Just wow
He should have gotten an oscar for that monologue.
Same hon 😢❤
I cried like a little baby at those movies. Just in Fellowship alone, with Sam and Frodo at the end, in the boat and looking at Mordor, I cried twice. And when Boromir died and when the hobbits cried for Gandalf. And when Bilbo apologizes to Frodo. And when Gandalf reacts to Frodo volunteering during the Council to take the Ring to Mordor. And...
@@IrishCarney for me it was the charge of the rohirrim and grey havens, not once did i not cry at those two scenes
Sean Astin was meant to be Samwise, thats just the way it is. He deserved an Oscar nomination for Return of the King. We all know it.
And that he didn’t just tells how little society actually cares and values people like Sam.
I'm the 667th like. I only like this because Sam is far from evil, and this comment doesn't deserve the mark of the beast. We all deserve a Sam in our lives. Cherish one if they are there. May the nine divine bless you.
The Oscars nominatione and wins atthe time of LOTR is nuts. Beautiful Mind won best film, lots of actors not nominated. Crazy.
Yes yes yes. I watch LOTR every year. All of it. Sam is my favourite with Faramir and Eowyn close seconds.
Sean Astin definitely deserves an Oscar nomination. He gave a brilliant heart felt performance, that was absolute perfection
Sean Astin; unappreciated hero of Middle Earth and Hawkins.
mal maller Bob life mattered
he was highly appreciated in both of those things
And South Bend
In the last episode, near the end they pass a shot of showing him in a superhero suit in a drawing.
#JusticeForBob
Samwise Gamgee is the embodiment of unconditional love.
-Elijah Wood
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.
Beautiful.
...and "second breakfast". ;)
schattentaenzerin you can see that in his eyes when he looks at Mr Underhill
Jesus is. Samwise comes in second
“You can’t watch all of them at once.” Samwise said confidently. “Yes you can!” Stephen replied, with even greater confidence.
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.
I'm English too and I had no idea he wasn't from the West Country. His accent was flawless in LOTR.
"I think Sam in a million years would never want to be considered the hero of that story."
Wow. Sean really did get who Sam was as character, didn't he? I mean, I guess that should be obvious, but hearing something like that really drove it home for me.
plucas1 He is Samwise.
plucas1 not all heroes wear capes
Couldn't agree more.
@@VorpalSpider69 which ironic because these hobbits do cx
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.
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.
the balrog still looks legendary
Miniatures, great costumes and makeup. Peter Jackson was a genius. Sometimes the new tech doesn't feel as real.
Most of the time the new tech doesn't feel as real.
LOTR was a perfect hybrid of practical and CG.
One word: big-atures
Because the movies were adapted from a timeless classic.
Gotta be honest, I've never watched the LotR movies separately. It's all one movie to me. I'd meet up with my friends for sleepovers on the weekends and watch the extended versions back to back through the night. Glorious times!
That is the only way to do it!
My family don't have the time to do an epic LotR marathon like this, so we have LotR week. Where we watch two hours of LotR after dinner every day for a week, and the rest of the day we just send each other LotR's memes and talk about middle earth whenever we have the chance. Such lovely times
This was impossible if you were alive as they were coming out. The good old days of theater then waiting for the vhs...I mean DVD 😂.
@@auntie_Slayer ... I was around when they came out. I watched them in theaters too, but only once. Then waited patiently for the extended versions of the DVDs to come out and bought them.
Sam is the reason Frodo made it!
Gollum is true hero in the books hahah
Without Sam Frodo can't do shit. Let's be honest
@@roran0432 that's true!
Tolkien himself said Sam was the real hero,Read the books😁
frodo is the reason it took them so long. seriously that hobbit was just magnet for trouble, cant keep himself on his feet for 2 minutes, totally useless. and then there is samwise gamgee who would stand up even if he was walking on lava
I can't carry it for you mr. Frodo, but I can carry you!
Most inspiring line!!
I’m not crying you’re crying..
I burst into tears at that line. Everything in the series absolutely came together at that moment and it was beautiful.
@@MAdilK I'm laughing unnecessarily hard at this line
Not all heroes wear capes.
Flame Beats True that I was more thinking Bob from Stranger things in this context.
heroes, not "hero's"
It's fucking spelled *heroes* you goddamn idiot
B. Jr. People like you make the internet worse. Thanks for the correction in my small error. Have a nice day.
Shekhar Ruparelia beat me to it!
"I made a promiss Mister Frodo, a promiss! 'Don't you leave him Samwise Gamgee', and I don't mean to"- makes me ball every time.
oops. thanks
*bawl
“I can’t carry it for you, but I can carry you”
“If ever I was to marry someone, it would have been her”
These are his lines that makes me 😭 all the time.
You're not alone.
"She had ribbons in her hair." ;-)
That's why I named my puppie samwize gamgee..
When Sean finally plays a bad guy I'm gonna be crushed.
he played a bad guy in one episode of 'Monk', Mr. Monk Is at Your Service
New Message He played a bad guy in an episode of monk! It was the episode where monk becomes a butler!
Maybe not a bad guy per se, but he did play a jerk boss in a season of 24.
Oh? I knew about the bad boss, but the Monk ep is news to me.. gonna have to dig it up! Thanks!
When he does get a role in a movie as a bad guy its going to be fricken terrifying ! Like Robin Williams or Bill Murray.
his giggle is so sweet!!!!!
Watch him in 50 First Dates! He's hilarious.
Andy McCombs so is nick offermans
I love the moment when he realizes that Treebeard reminds him of his father John Astin.
While Stephen Colbert isn't my favorite late night host, I absolutely love how much he loves the Lord of the Rings series and fanboys whenever he gets to meet any of the cast. He's not like the other hosts who are just casual fans, he's a full on FAN of the series and I really respect him for that
Also, Sean Astin is super awesome. He's one of those actors that always feels welcome no matter what type of role he does (film, TV, animated show, etc)
My favorite movie line ever:
Frodo: Go back, Sam! I’m going to Mordor alone.
Sam: Of course you are, and I’m coming with you!
You'll always be Samwise to us, Sean!
And for some of us it's Mikey, because Goonies never say: die!
SnoopsBagOfWeed Best line EVER!
I made a promise, Mr. Frodo. A promise.
Don't you leave him Sam-wise Gamgee.
And I don't mean to.
I don't mean to.
Makes me cry every time!! I was so glad to hear Stephen say Sam is the hero - I used to argue that with people all the time.
Scott Caslow their is some good in this world Mr Frodo and it's worth fighting for. best line IMHO from him in lotr. when Frodo was so ready to give up.
That response to whether he considers Sam to be the hero is perfect, and it shows why he was able to play the character so well. He should have won more awards for his performance. Most of the moments that tear me up in Lord of the Rings are because of Sam and the brilliant portrayal of him by Sean Astin.
Captain Aardvaark he _IS_ samwise gamgee!!
Of course you are ! And I'm coming with you !
Of course, he did get some of the best dialogues in the movie. My fav is when he tells a sad and disheartened Bilbo about things that are worth fighting for.
Sridhar C Frodo*
My literature teacher used to tell me that LOTR books were the greatest. When someone in our class mentioned Harry Potter, she’d say we didn’t know anything till we read LOTR and she was right. The word Tolkien created, with languages and cultures and races. It is such a beautiful world. With beautiful stories, so complex and amazing. I learn something new each time I read it.
Harry potter wouldnt exist wihout LoTR. They are very similar stories and Jk Rowling was heavily influenced by it.
In terms of technical depth and achievement HP doesn't begin to compare to LOTR; Rowling named all her spells using very obvious/basic English/Latin root words. Tolkien literally wrote entire new languages and built his stories around them. Man was a master linguist on top of being an author.
2:26
"You know more about Lord of the Rings than all of the people who made Lord of the Rings combined."
Woah... hold on a second there, blasphemer.
Sir Christopher Lee, who played Saruman, was a MASSIVE Lord of the Rings fan long before he was cast for that movie.
He was, in fact, the only member of the entire production team of those films to have actually met J.R.R. Tolkien in person.
May he rest in peace :(
Also, I'd say, Ian Holm knew a fair bit about Lord Of The Rings, having played Frodo in the BBC radio adaptations of the books. And Peter Jackson himself was a huge fan.
At Comicon or one of those events Stephen defeated Fran Walsh in a Tolkien trivia contest. His knowledge of Tolkien's legendarium is legendary.
I think he said he read it yearly for over 30 years.
@@SpiralOfWhite I remember reading that, too.
"Taters? What is taters?"
"POOOTTTTAAAATTTTOOOOEEEES?"
Boil em mash em stick em in a stew
It’s the quote I quote the most
Haha! Perfect timing for this classic quote, Max. Just saw that scene yesterday while finishing up the trilogy for the 11th time.
😂
boil em mash em b-boil em boil em boil em mash em stick em in a stew
Man, Sean is proof that good things come to good people. The guy is all love and smiles and always gets invited to the coolest jobs.
this comment is everything
Abner Santos while this may be a positive note. it does not equal proof and that is far from true and everyone goofs up makes mistakes and especially chooses to do evil things even if most of the world doesn't see it. none are perfect.
I have never heard such an accurate description of Sean Astin in my entire life.
Zach Stevens there’s some good in this world, Mr Frodo, and it’s worth fighting for
I taught Sean drums when he was a very young boy somewhere near his teens. His Father, John Astin, would call me religiously every Saturday morning around 9 AM to talk about his progress.
What was he like?
Aw cute story
Now I'm curious if he can still play
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.
At first I thought his character was a bad-guy-in-disguise. Someone who will implode when provoked. Turns out, I was wrong. Not only that, he also ended up to be my favorite character this season.
Exactly, I exacted to love his character before even seeing him on the show, and then thought he would be a true baddie...
Bob is the best
I thought he turn out to be possessed by the Mind Flayer from the beginning.
Same! I thought no way this guy is this nice to Joyce, he's probably a spy trying to find Eleven. Instead he turned out to be Bob Newby, Superhero!!
I thought that as well
I totally thought that, too
Sean Astin is a really likable guy.
salvatornado yea
Aparently he's a huge condescending prick off screen
I've heard that as well which is soo weird to me
Ducky McDuckface where did you find that out?
Fake news. Not true at all.
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.
I MET HIM!!!!! He’s the sweetest person ever
Lucky you
Wow. Very cool, glad to know he’s what he seems to be!
"I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
kwang-won Chung tears every time
When I saw that in the theater some guy in the back shouted RUDY!
...NO!! *YOU'RE* CRYING!!!
Reading this comment is making me tear up
He seems to be a genuinely kind person...not to caught up in the pretentiousness of Hollywood. Bravo. His Mom and Dad were both wonderful actors. John Astin and Patty Duke.
That would be because he's pretty much stayed out of Hollywood for the past 15 or so years. If you look at his IMDB, he's worked his ass off in movies you're never heard of. I remember even back in the day around RotK's release him saying that he wanted out of the spotlight, and good for him.
John Astin wasn't his biological father, but rather his adopted one. He's said before how he has four dads, one biological, two adoptive, and one surrogate. Michael Tell is his 'real' father
I al
@@PeninsulaPaintings biology alone doesn't make someone your father. Sean Astin refers to John Astin as his actual father, and legally, he is his father. Plus, he is gomez addams, so why wouldn't he????
@@deathlibrarian I know. I mentioned he says he has four dads. But biologically, John Astin is NOT his father.
I always feel like bursting into tears every time I see Sean Astin.
The moment when you realize that Sean wasn't playing Bob, he was just being himself.
Should have won the Oscar for Return of the King.
lol
He just seems like the sweetest guy
Kate Macchi I met him. He is
“You can’t watch all of them at once” oh... well I guess I proved him wrong 😂😂😂
Literally every lotr fan is like 🤔🤔🤔
Just finished it again ,all of it at once after 2005.
"The environment is going to rise up and protect itself"
-Sean Astin
He can’t carry the ring.
But he can carry you!
If my future husband doesn't say this as we approach honeymoon, I'm out.
...So I hope you don't mind, but I'm totally stealing this idea lol...and if my future wife doesn't get the reference, then I'M out...
Cmon!
That is so classic, I was so touching by that..
Then he toss Frodo along with the ring into the pit. Then middle-earth lives happily ever after.
I still believe he deserved an Oscar for LOTR
I agree!!!!!!!
Fully agree!!💯
Tommy hell yeah and he did in the two towers speech great actor
if anyone deserved an Oscar for the trilogy it was Sean. He literally became Sam heart and soul it was so emotional and intense to watch as a huge Tolkien fan and avid rereader of the books annually.. its a damn shame he didnt get a damn thing.
yeah bruh, the way Frodo made Samwise leave on their way to stairs and the way Sam cried. Bruh, I felt that
Colbert is totally fan-girling. Such an adorkable nerd!!! 🤓
Sean astin: you can’t watch them all at once.
Every lotr fan myself included: are you sure about that? 😏
we do it in costume.
Marvel movies marathon: Am I a joke to you?

The TRUE Hero from LOTR!
Smeagol?
@@ieuanhunt552 well it sure wasn't Gandalf. He can summon eagles but makes everyone walk.
@@terriewatson8828 I see this come up a lot and it annoys me a little. There are many reasons that they couldn't fly the whole way there. One is that the eagles are proud animals and not beasts of burden. Gandalf does not command the eagles he has a working relationship with Gwaihir who does him a few favours. 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. There are other reasons but no the fellowship could not have just flew to Mordor on the eagles.
Loyal and true.
Exactly
I still think Sean Astin should’ve been nominated and awarded the Academy Award (& other awards) for his phenomenal performance as Sam. He was incredible!!!
I still have LOTR marathons and watch both sets of movies. I do the same thing with Harry Potter. I get to be 70 next year. You can count on me doing this at least twice a year. I still haven't read the books though I think I will this year.
there are really nice audiobooks of the hobbit narrated by Andy Serkis and the Lord of The Rings trilogy freely available on UA-cam. Definitely recommend checking them out!
Lord Of The Rings casting is absolutely perfect.
I wish this interview would go on for hours with them talking about Lord of the Rings while smoking pipe-weed and blowing smoke rings 😁
tsociety also ships
Zane Addington you need Gandalf for that
Damn! I want to be Sean Astin's friend. He has always been such a humble and down to earth guy. I forgive him that he hadn't heard of The Lord of The Rings now because he admits to loving it. How could he even ask if anyone has heard of his Dad? He was a legend.
I love how he's so excited when he describes his work
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
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.
he didnt ask on stage, maybe he asked him backstage afterward
Darcy P побег
Побег
Commander Ju who said web exclusiv?
I thought Stephen was kind of rude to brush him off like that when he said he had questions for Stephen.
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.
Is nobody gonna acknowledge how amazing Sean's laugh is?
There's such a purity to his laugh
No wonder he's good at playing likable characters
Watch "The Strain" and say that again
watch him on 24
Time for an LOTR marathon
StarlitShadows pants optional!
Just did one myself. No pants. It was awesome. Bring snacks though, you're gonna get hungry.
Shadows. Smoke a blunt while your watching it. Youll thank me later.
damn straight!
Six?
One of the most talented actors of all time he really deserves another lead role some day
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!
Sean Astin must be protected at all costs.
Yesss
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.
4:15 oh let me tell you about my birthday tradition where I watch all three LotR uncut versions alone in my bed. It's the best day of the year.
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.
He's such a sweetie.
Black Knight Really? Sean Astin ?
Black Knight oh. I didn't pay attention to the film production. I'm such a fan of the books the movies bothered me.
Wendy Pastore what did Black Knight say? He seems to have disappeared.
Jameson Lovegrove I don't really remember specifically, something about Sean Austin not being nice to someone on the set of one movie?
Sean Astin the GOAT

-you can't watch all of them at once

I love when Stephen fangirls out over LoTR.

"What's 'taters precious?!"
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.
The fact that he said Sam would never consider himself the hero, is such a Sam thing to say
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 agree, dude.I love that movie, haven't seen it in a while, but I used to rent it a lot.
Pots and pans? What's pots and pans?
I love Toy Soldiers! Under appreciated movie
A favorite of mine
@@JohnDoe-vn1we i still say pots and pans when I do dishes
I really wanted to hear the questions Astin had for Colbert about LOTR.
Frodo: "I don't suppose we'll ever see them again." Sam: "We may yet, Mister Frodo ...
His laugh is so adorable and contagious haha. Sam is our hero. Without him, Frodo would have been lost.
Yes Yes absolutely
Every time I think of Samwise Gamgee, the Shire music plays in my head and it's heartwarming and beautiful. *cue the Shire flute music* 🎶

Winny Tessalonika ...chances are he's right in front of you and you don't see him...
72marshflower15 oh but a Sam would've been pretty hard to go unnoticed..
That cuddly sweet teddy bear is Hollywood royalty.
One of the best interviews of Sean Astin I've ever watched.
Aw, he seems like a cutie! And I like that he seems to really appreciate the projects he's been in!
He seems like a guy that can be friends with everyone.
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 was born in 1979, when I see Sean Astin, even after LOTR, I still think of Goonies
gornes I still expect him to have a retainer. Lol.
Goonies never say die
Born in 80 and I hear you!😉
Right. I still see Mikey.
Sean Astin will be forever Samwise Gamgee for me :3
Masterbating bodybuiilder from 50 First Dates for me.
Isn't it shocking that Lord of the Rings finished FIFTEEN years ago??!! God I am old...
kevinmsft plus I read the books a decade before the movies came out!
kevinmsft yes you are, lol.
Nigga please, I saw The Goonies when it first came out in the movie theater
But Game of Thrones has so many interesting characters compared to LOTR, even though it is ''inferior'' to the whole fantasy thing that tolkien build in the first place
kevinmsft I’m just happy I’m alive to enjoy both series. I hope they keep writing and filming books and movies like LOTR and GOT.
Got the pleasure to meet Sean Astin a couple weeks ago! Such an awesome guy
Love him he's so charming and so great, always seems to be smiling. Such a great actor and person ❤❤
I love that Stephen is honestly a humongous LOTR/Hobbit fan.
My god he's got a 15 year old daughter.. I feel old
His daughter played Sam's little Hobbit daughter when he returned home to Rosie and the baby after Frodo sailed away with the Elves.
Yeah, I’m glad its not just me. I’m like, WTF??? Dude, I still miss your retainer and you got a teenager??? Lol!!
He was making movies in the 80s, you shouldn't feel old
Lord of the Rings for life!!! ❤️
Such an authentic great guy got to love him
My favorite lords of the ring character, right there on that couch.
And the most underrated. Frodo wouldn't have done shit without Sam
true that!
Underrated? Everyone loves Sam, everyone calls him the hero. I don't see Aragorn being called the hero nearly as much as Sam
Jacek Matuszyk well I think faramir is the most underrated charactor of all. Hardly anyone even knows who he is.
lords of the ring
i wanted to hear his questions for Stephen!
Yeah, so did I!
I was just gonna comment that! I wonder what he asked him. More LOTR stuff please!
me too! Damn it!
I hope there’s a longer cut of this that has them in there!!
Listening to Sean talk you can hear the child-like, 'Christmas Morning' excitement, that was so reminiscent of his dad ring through.
"Environment is gonna rise up and fight for itself" Isn't that what's happening now?
love this guy, just seams like a great neighbor to have.
He seems like such a genuine down to earth nice guy! can imagine him being super polite everytime you cross paths outside
Hahaha, have him cut your grass for a year as a penalty
We dont deserve Sean Astin
Abc ced honestly
hes too good for this world
This is true
you're all peasants with low self esteem and don't deserve anything the god has put on this good earth
Abc ced yes we do u mook!!!!!!
my heart melted by the way he walked across and on the stage
The Goonies and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy are my favorite films of all time, and Stranger Things is my favorite series... The common thread = Mr. Sean Astin, and he is an absolute treasure.
band should have played a jazzy version of hobbiton theme
