3. Child Stars in the Making?
Many of the kids selected for the trilogy were the children of many LOTR cast members. It would not only save time from having to pick and choose out of a handful of extras, but they could probably get away with doing it for free, too. Hell, if my dad was Aragorn, I would. Peter Jackson’s son is one of the kids Bilbo tells of the trolls in Fellowship; Viggo’s son, Henry, producer Philippa Boyens’ son, as well as Elijah’s little sister all played refugees in Helm’s Deep; and Sean Astin’s daughter, Ali, played one of Samwise’s daughters at the end of Return of the King.
