JRD would be mine, i've only met Bernard Hill, Lawrence Makoare and Sean Astin otherwise but JRD was really friendly and chatty. It was so cool to meet him and a got a cool signed picture of the great Gimli.

Having not met most of them in the list. Mine is a choice between Bernard Hill, JRD or Brad Dourif. They were all nice guys...it's a tough choice, but I think Bernard wins.

I voted for John Rhys Davies as I thought he was the friendliest. Billy Boyd was nice too.

Brad Dourif! I thought he was great 
Didn't meet him at a con, but Ian McKellen was brilliant as well.

Hi There
Having met them all at least once (except for Elijah)...I've got to say that it's definately Billy all the way!!.... He's "always" lovely, and "always" has time to have a laugh and a joke, no matter how rushed along he is!..
Craig is a close second, with Andy, Dom, Sean and JRD following closely behind him....Then there's Sala and Laurence.....and.....
Aw heck!!!.... I've never never yet met a LOTR's guest that hasn't been wonderful to meet!....they're all lovely!....

_______________________________________________
Some Billy quotes:
"Hello There!!...I know you don't I??.... I've seen you before!!"....As I met Billy for about the tenth time!!...
"Hobbits are a lot like Scots, it's all about nature and enjoying their land, which is a very Scottish thing"
"Please, please...Would some woman come and kiss me?".......(Does he even NEED to ASK?)
"I need a hug!"
"We're doomed!!...there's thousands of them"
"Dom's an idiot!!"
"That's the thing with Elijah. He's got the biggest eyes you've ever seen, but they don't work."
_______________________________________________
Some Pippin quotes:-
"What is going on?"
"It comes in pints? I'm getting one!"
"Anyway, you need people of intellegence on this mission...quest...thing!"
"Right, Where are we going?"
"We've had one, yes, But what about second breakfast?"
"Oh, that's nice. Ash on my tomatoes!"
"Maybe Treebeard's right. We don't belong here, Merry. It's too big for us. What can we do in the end? We've got the Shire. Maybe we should go home."
_______________________________________________
My favourite passage from the Book:-
Then Pippin stabbed upwards, and the written blade of Westernesse pierced through the hide and went deep into the vitals of the troll, and his black blood came gushing out. He toppled forward and came crashing down like a falling rock, burying those beneath him. Blackness and stench and crushing pain came upon Pippin, and his mind fell away into a great darkness.
"So it ends as I guessed it would," his thought said, even as it fluttered away; and it laughed a little within him ere it fled, almost gay it seemed to be casting off at last all doubt and care and fear. And then even as it winged away into forgetfulness it heard voices, and they seemed to be crying in some forgotten world far above:
"The Eagles are coming! The Eagles are coming!"
For one moment more Pippin's thought hovered. "Bilbo!" it said. "But no! That came in his tale, long long ago. This is my tale, and it is ended now. Goodbye!" And his thought fled far away and his eyes saw no more.
