Personal Quote:
[12/14/03, on his character Sam Gamgee] I spent the film doing lots of things, but the crying is what lived. He [
Peter Jackson] tricks you into thinking you're going to get to do all these brave, heroic things most of the time, and you have to cry once in a while . . . and then he cuts out the heroic moments and you're left thinking, "I look like a big baby".

Trivia:
In
The Goonies (1985), his character cries out "Holy Mackenzie!" His brother is
Mackenzie Astin. He claimed he was allowed to keep the treasure map used in the film. However, the map was lost forever when his mother discovered it several years later, thought it was just a crinkled piece of paper, and threw it in the trash.
