took the

Samwise Gamgee

Sean Astin (a.k.a.
Samwise Gamgee) went on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' and met the man who is quite possibly his number one fan... Stephen Colbert.
Turns out
when Astin's agent called him
about the part of
Samwise Gamgee,
Astin thought he would be doing an adaptation of
The Phantom Tollbooth.*
Now he plays the dorkily awesome Bob in 'Stranger Things 2,' so we all have something new to love
about Sean Astin.
