bizkitchick writes: In the ‘calendar’ section of the September issue of YM magazine (the one with Ashanti on the cover), they talk about hobbits on the 22nd of September: It’s Hobbit Day. In J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, both Frodo and Bilbo Baggins celebrate their birthdays on this date.
The folks over at Universal Interactive were looking for an actor to provide the voice of Sam Gamgee for their upcoming “Fellowship of the Ring” video game. They picked out one of TORN’s original Tolkien-maniacs to go into the recording studio! [More]

Greetings — Quickbeam here.
You heard it here first. Later this year when Universal Interactive releases their first “Lord of the Rings” video game for X-Box and PlayStation 2, you will hear the character voice work of yours truly, Quickbeam, doing his best to bring Sam to life.
Any of you that went down to San Diego for Comic-Con could have visited the Universal display and experienced the new version of the game with me as Samwise all mixed in. What a hoot!
It was a terrific thrill having the chance to work on this project.

[Full story]
Much too hasty,
Sean Bean (Boromir) falls into ‘The Big Empty’, Marton Csokas (Celeborn) hops onto ‘Kangaroo Jack’, Brad Dourif (Wormtounge) meets up with ‘El Padrino’, and both Hugo Weaving (Elrond) and David Wenham (Faramir) find out what comes ‘After the Deluge’. Oh My! [More]
Sean Bean (Boromir) has joined the cast of ‘The Big Empty’ with Rachael Leigh Cook (Get Carter), Jon Favreau (Swingers, Made) and Kelsey Grammer (TV’s Fraiser). The official site touts the film as an ‘offbeat ensemble dark comedy’ (aren’t they all). Look for that later this year.
Marton Csokas (Celeborn), fresh from duking it out with Vin Diesel in ‘XXX” is set to join the cast of the action comedy ‘Kangaroo Jack’. Jerry O’Connell, Estella Warren and Christopher Walken also star.
Brad Dourif (Wormtounge) has added his talent to the film ‘El Padrino’, an action thriller from ‘The Calling’ director Damian Chapa. Look for that later this year or early next.
Both Hugo Weaving (Elrond) and David Wenham (Faramir) have joined the cast of the mini series ‘After the Deluge’. The Aussie film is directed by popular TV director Brendan Maher (“BeastMaster”, “Halifax f.p: Swimming with Sharks”, “Farscape”, “SeaChange”)
