Tolkien's appendices of The Lord of the Rings, we learn that Sept. 22 is the birthday of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins. We're getting in on the celebrations by discussing some of the hobbits and how crucial they were in saving Middle-earth from doom. Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Gollum (Andy Serkis), Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood), and Samwise Gamgee (Sean Astin) in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Whether the parts they played seem tiny or monumental, these hobbits each contributed to the rebuilding of light and hope in all of Middle-earth.
