Astin At Dodgers Hollywood Stars Game
Kirstie writes: Sean Astin was one of the players at the Dodgers Hollywood Stars Game yesterday, among other celebrities. He played pretty well and even hit a home run at one point. He also accidentally hit a little kid with the ball, but he apologized over the microphone. Afterwards, some of the other stars were signing autographs, but he said he couldn’t because he was running late for a black tie event and his wife was going to kill him.

Andria writes: I had the pleasure of listening to (I was too far away to see) Sean Astin give a political speech at a rally for John Kerry today in St. Louis. He referenced being Samwise Gamgee from LOTR which got a loud cheer from the crowd. Of the the people that spoke at the rally (pre-Kerry and Edwards) Astin delivered the most articulate and heart-felt speech of the group. I was thrilled. (SPECIAL NOTE: TORN in no way endorses or condemns the political views of candidates or cast members supporting candidates. We just report.)

TechTV is presenting the ‘GPhoria Awards’ tonight. This Oscars-for-video-games event has the ROTK game by EA nominated in a few categories. They are; Achievement in voice acting by a male performer (Both Sean Astin & Elijah Wood are nominated), Best Sound Design, Best Cinematic & Best Adaptation. [More] [Gaming Havens]

I just posted a story about the Rudy Foundation Celebrity dinner from February 11th. Jessica Peace had a chance to attend the event and met Sean Astin (Sam), and she was kind enough to let me post her story and her pics at my site. LOTR is mentioned and there’s a bit more about it in the Q&A with Jessica. There’s also a pic of Sean with Ali Astin. I though you guys might find this stuff interesting. [More]
