I grew up reading The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion. In a paraphrase of C.S. Lewis, I saw shining knights and great heroes standing up to fight the bad things every child knows is out there. From the small but indomitable Hobbits to the great kings that rose to the time that required, to sad and shining elves whose time was fading. I loved them all. And then the movies came out and they found actors that played those characters so well. Brought them to life so well. In a pantheon of great actors who did the characters proud, Theoden shone bright. And now the man that brought him to life has passed into The West. Hail and Well Met, Theoden King. We will remember you always.
