Hobbit Extra
Strider

Ever since i came across the FOTR secial extended edition, i have watched constantly for little tid-bits of information wich might give us a hint of whats to come. However, there is one thing I can not figure out. I believe it is in "The Fellowship of the Cast" section on the second disc. Near the end, the subjest is on the hobbit extras who are played by "little people" (sorry if thats politically incorrect). The person who played Frodo was Keran Shaw (think thats spelt right). Anyway, they talk about him a little, and then they go to a scene where someone tells him he'll be asked if they could set him on fire for a scene in the movie. Always willing to take one for the team, he replies that he'd be happy to do it. What I've been wondering about is, what scene is this? There is no art in the books where Frodo or any of the hobbits are on fire. Could this be for the attack on Minas Tirith, playing simply someone who is on fire? Does anyone have an idea. This is all very conusing.
