I protest! Sir Robin was unfairly hurled from the bridge. The third question actually has at least three answers, at various times the capital of Assyria was Caleh, Asshur (Assur), and Nineveh! Some include Dur Sharrukin, a temporary capital of Sargon II. The question was put as though there should be one, simple answer. Sir Robin must be given a second chance with a proper third question! Grrrr...

LOL! Great job, Freddie. I loved your "I'm not dead" guy and all of your scenes as Sir Robin.

Grrrr... Haha, I can guarantee you Sir Robin didn't know any of those three potential answers. Nor did I. Well done on knowing that. You probably would have cast the Bridgekeeper into the Gorge of Eternal Peril when you questioned him about this.

Relevant to our interests! Some of the Zooming the Movies crew is getting together for a live reading of Return of the King! And I've been invited to be part of it. I don't know who I'm playing yet but this should be fun. If you're near the Oak Park, IL area next weekend, come check it out!

Oh, I wish I could come. I wonder how long this will take to read! Is it edited to shorten the reading time?

Updated poster with all our faces on it. The cast list has been released. I don't have a big part. I'm playing various ensemble roles like the Ranger Damrod, Deagol the hobbit, Grima Wormtongue (in his one scene in ROTK), Gamling, etc. But it will still be fun to be part of this. I'm always up for being part of a Middle-earth reading in any capacity.

Nice!!!! The upside to having those parts is the different voices you can use. That’s awesome!

The reading was a lot of fun! The cast list got updated and I ended up playing Saruman and the King of the Dead as well! So I got some longer scenes and was able to do different voices as you mentioned. Lots of unplanned goofiness like Merry and Pippin singing on the tables, the Witch-king flipping people the bird, Pippin making a ridiculous face to represent the Watcher statues at Minas Morgul, everyone turning on their phones' flashlights when the beacons were lit, and throwing crumpled-up paper at each other in the Battle of Pelennor Fields. A lot of folks did costumes. Here's the cast pic we took. I'm in the back row in the blue hood.

So glad you had a great time and got to play more roles! I wish I could have come seen it so it is nice to have you post a picture of your group of actors.

Tomorrow Jan 26 at 7 pm CST, I'm in a reading of episodes 3 and 4 of The Rings of Power (I may have mixed feelings about the show but these readings are always fun and I'll take any excuse to hang out in Middle-earth). I'll be playing Prince Durin IV, Largo Brandyfoot, and Ontamo (a dwarf, a hobbit, and a human so there will no doubt be a few costume and accent changes). Meanwhile, back in the real world, I got cast in the ensemble of The Music Man with North Riverside Players so that will be my next onstage appearance.

Those are great roles for you in Rings of Power. You will have fun swapping costumes! How long are rehearsals until Music Man goes live? You are so lucky to get to do these acting gigs.
