'Big Horsie.'"
5> "Hey, Tom, Merry Tom, Tom Bombadillo! Gotta fire his agent's
ass, 'cause his screen time's nil-oh!"
4> Mary-Kate and Ashley as Hobbettes!
3> Tom Green has a cameo as Dildo, the least tasteful Hobbit.
2> Sure enough, there he is: Al Gore as Ent #5
and the Number 1 Surprise in the
"Lord of the Rings" Movie Trailer...
1> The part of Bilbo Baggins? Played by Emmanuel Lewis.
