He was a very good actor. Had an awesome stoic look.
I pray God has mercy on him and accepts him, no different than I pray for myself.
Gondor calls for aid! And Rohan will answer!
Great portrayal of a great leader.

I kept wondering why he looked familiar when I first watched ‘Lord of the Rings’ back in 2011 (late to the part I know lol) as I and my class mates had been made to watch the ‘Titanic’ at school many years ago lol (a long-ass boring film that I refuse to watch ever again).
R.I.P. My King.
