Doug Whitmore from 50 First Dates
In 50 First Dates, Doug Whitmore (Sean Astin) is Lucy Whitmore’s older brother and an ever-flexing, steroid-abusing bodybuilder. You’ll always find him decked out in muscle shirts, workout pants, weight-lifting belts, and fingerless gloves. Inspired by his fashion, professional NFL football player Jason Kelce arrived for a recent Eagles game in the same get-up.
Samwise Gamgee
Samwise “Sam” Gamgee is a main character in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. He is a Hobbit who joins the Fellowship of the Ring and its quest to destroy it and defeat Sauron. He is a gardener in the Shire. When Gandalf catches Sam eavesdropping on his conversation with Frodo, he demands he partake in the journey. He becomes Frodo’s closest companion, and carries him up Mount Doom to cast the Ring into the fire. Sam is not affected by the Ring’s persuasion because he is morally good. In the movie adaptations of Tolkien’s novels, Sean Astin plays this role.
