Exciting news relevant to our shared interest. Zooming the Movies is doing the extended edition of The Two Towers and I will be part of it! Most of the good parts were taken already (they're using the same cast from their other LOTR reading) but I will be playing Boromir in the flashback scene in Osgiliath, as well as some random orcs and soldiers and minor parts throughout the movie. Part I on 3/1 and Part II on 3/2 at 7pm CST

This one is right up your alley! I know it is a smaller part, but very cool! I hope I can be available to watch it. Otherwise please post a link to the two parts after they are ready.

The first part of The Two Towers is tonight at 7pm Central. I only have a few lines in this one, sadly. The Boromir flashback scene is in Part 2 tomorrow night. I've thrown together a makeshift Boromir costume using my Renn Faire outfit, a drinking horn, and a printed out White Tree of Gondor. Its going to be very silly.

Silly? Not at all! You are throwing yourself into your role and giving it your own special touch! Way to go Fredoromir! *Wink*

I couldn't find the link at first on their FB page. Started doing something else, then went back. I got in for the Theoden and Gandalf and Wormtongue scene and watched to the end. I suspect your Boromir part was toward the beginning and I missed it. Gollum was very good! Eowyn sang the funeral song very well, too.

Yeah, Gollum and Eowyn absolutely killed it. They were amazing. I was very impressed by Theoden also and could feel Treebeard's voice resonating in my chest.
I only had two lines in this part sadly. I was Boromir for a split second at the beginning when Frodo is dreaming of Gandalf falling in Moria. Then I had a line as the orc wanting to take a breather. Tonight I get to do the flashback scene as Boromir in Osgiliath with Faramir and Denethor. I'll also pop up as various soldiers of Rohan and Gondor.

Very 🙂 nice, Freddie. When the rerun link is up, I'd like to rewatch from the beginning. (Edit: is that the link above? Switching to my laptop) I missed most of it.
I agree, Theoden was very good. Aragorn's sound was pretty low and I had some trouble hearing him talking to Eowyn.
Didn't the group do The Return of the King already? I remember the beacon lighting. Somehow I missed my favorite scene when Eowyn and Merry take out the Witchking.

Yes, that's the link to the video of Part 1 above. I will share the link for tonight's episode on here as well as soon as it goes live.
They did do Return of the King. For some reason, they did the movies out of order.

I'm watching your link now. You indeed where on and off quickly as Boromir and the Orc! I liked how Gandalf used a flashlight shining at the camera to give the white glowing effect when Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli find him in Fangorn Forest.
Was ROTK done in two parts? Which part was the Beacon scene? Was the death of the Witchking in that same part? Gosh! my favorite scene and I don't remember it! GASP!

It was great, Freddie. Your Boromir scene with Faramir and Denethor was very good. You really looked happy about sharing the ales with Faramir! Also saw you pop up in some soldier spots.
Loved the helmet falling down over Gimli's face. I was disappointed that there were no orcs and uruk hai in the Helms Deep scenes though. The Ents attack on Isengard was awesome! Who the heck went to all that set up to do that! I was laughing so hard. Sam's old stories scene always gets me. Gollum was great once again.
