I can't think of any major flaws in Arwen's performance either, but you did say you could name a flaw in every other major performance so...

Sean Bean. I definately can't think of a flaw, not even the flaw of being flawless and nothing more. But he was much more. He put emotion into his emotional lines, and said lines that weren't meant to stand out in a way that kept the watcher's interests. He was Boromir as Tolkien portrayed him: Strong, dedicated, proud, confidant. A great leader, and with the potential to become a great ruler in a less trouble time. And he was another powerful example of the power of the Ring, and of our own poor willpower and inner greed.

So the only question left is whether he was a major character. With all of the above, how could he not be?

Well, if you can think of a flaw, tell me.
