[on filming the scene in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) in which “Sam” tries to make “Frodo” recall the Shire:] “That day was very difficult and it was a long day. I remember Peter [Peter Jackson] actually crying on set after a few takes. It was a real defining moment for Sean [Sean Astin] and I, not only in this film, but in our acting” [December 14, 2003].
