Details
The actors of the Lord of the Rings trilogy have honored the memory of their co-star Bernard Hill, who died at the age of 79. The actor, who played King Theoden in Peter Jackson's trilogy, died the day before, in the early morning hours of Sunday, May 5. Hill's co-stars in the films based on J.R.R. Tolkien's classic fantasy novels took to the stage together to share their thoughts on his passing. Elijah Wood, Billy Boyd, Dominic Monaghan and Sean Astin, who played the four hobbits in the films, said goodbye to their "funny, rude, beautiful" friend. They told fans at Comic Con in Liverpool that they had lost a "family member.
We love him. He was fearless, he was funny, he was rude, he was hot-tempered, he was beautiful
Boyd, who played Pippin, spoke about watching the trilogy with Monaghan, saying, "I don't think anyone has ever said Tolkien's words as beautifully as Bernard. The way he grounded those words in realism."
For reference
Hill's most prominent role is the 1982 BBC television drama Boys from the Blackstuff, where he played Yosser Hughes, a character who struggles - and often fails - to cope with unemployment in Liverpool.
Alan Blizdale, who wrote the script for Boys from the Blackstuff, said that Hill's death was "a great loss, but also a great surprise.
I was desperate to work with him. Everything he did - his whole working procedure, the way he worked, and his productivity - was everything you could wish for. You always felt that Bernard was going to live forever. He had great physical and personal strength
