- Elijah Wood (Frodo) Despite his short stature, the ringbearer Frodo casts a long shadow, and continues to be the role Wood is most identified with. But the onetime child actor hasn’t been resting on his laurels: The very year after the release of Return of the King, Wood appeared in the Oscar-winning film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) as Patrick, who uses the memories of Jim Carrey’s Joel to try to seduce Kate Winslet’s Clementine.
- Sean Astin (Sam) The Goonies star, who in LOTR played Frodo’s loyal gardener turned unlikely hero, followed up the trilogy with a supporting role in Showtime’s postapocalyptic series Jeremiah and a big-screen turn in Adam Sandler-Drew Barrymore rom-com 50 First Dates (2004).
- Ian McKellen (Gandalf) The two-time Oscar nominee (including a nod for supporting actor as the gray-bearded wizard Gandalf in Fellowship of the Ring) may be in his mid-80s now, but age hasn’t slowed him down a bit.
- Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn) Mortensen, who played the heroic ranger Strider turned King Aragorn in the trilogy, followed Return of the King with a not-far-removed role in Hidalgo (2004), as a cowboy in a horse race.
