   I'm sad to hear of his passing, he was a good actor.

Coincidentally, I got to play the new tabletop Alien RPG yesterday. I played a synth in honor of him and somehow managed to get my head knocked off and trying to kill a human while my head is almost off. (The human was trying to kill us all, so at least I was heroic)

   Not only that, Holm starred in Lord Of The Rings twice. As well as the film trilogy, back in the early 80s he played Frodo in a BBC Radio 26-part dramatisation of (almost) the entire trilogy — as usual, the section with Bombadil was left out. I really enjoyed this version; it had many songs from the books, and the music was memorable. The title theme in particular is an immortal earworm I can still remember clearly to this day.

And would you believe, I found it. The first seven doubled-up episodes, anyway.

Hold on, here's another one with better sound. The same channel also has the music of the series.

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate;
And though I oft have passed them by,
A day will come at last when I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon, East of the Sun.
