A place to discuss Lord of the Rings, the Hobbit, and any of Tolkien's work! Bernard Hill appreciation post. Article on Bernard Hill's unmatched Oscar record: Never before has there been a man who looks exactly like his name as much as Bernard looks like a Bernard. I don’t know, Bernard in Four Weddings and a Funeral is pretty spot on as well.
Bernard Hill Dies Age 79. “I go to my fathers. And even in their mighty company I shall not now be ashamed.”. RIP to a real one. Theoden has always been one of my favorite characters, and while nothing is perfect, I think Hill did a wonderful job portraying him. Hail the victorious dead.
Jul 9, 2021 · Bernard Hill was a huge fan and made his own audition tape. He originally read for Gandalf, but the time commitment deterred him from pursuing it any further (the filmmakers had McKellen in mind for the role, anyway) and he accepted the role of Theoden, over early candidates Patrick Stewart and Kevin Conway.
May 9, 2024 · Elijah's farewell to Bernard Hill, with Viggo's portrait as illustration.

I thought the same thing too. He looked much older than he actually was when Titanic was filmed. He was in his early 50s back then. RIP Mr. Bernard Hill. You're acting was stupendous! I swear I thought the same too, but I think we’re all thinking of David Warner, who played Lovejoy and passed about 2 years ago.
Bernard Hill probably should’ve been nominated for an Oscar along with Andy Serkis for Two Towers, but the entire cast was just way too stacked. Now that I think about it, I’d say Sean Bean should’ve been nominated for FOTR and Sean Astin should’ve been nominated for ROTK. Too many great performances to choose from tho and they can ...
Dec 14, 2022 · These movies wouldn't hit half as hard without his portrayal of Theoden. Absolutely my favorite performance of anyone across the whole trilogy. Iconic. He has many great and memorable moments in the two films, but like most of us, nothing can match the power of the Charge of the Rohirrim.
