Sidekicks Megapoll: Round Four: Festus vs Wormtongue

[Zeener Diode]

Festus



According to a 1971 interview with El Paso Herald-Post, actor Ken Curtis would take a pair of dull scissors with him on the road to trim his beard when he couldn't stand wearing it anymore. He said: "I think the reason I got the part of Festus in the first place is because I have the mangiest beard West of the Mississippi."

Wormtongue



Gríma, son of Gálmód, was at first a faithful servant, but he eventually fell in league with Saruman, and from then on worked to weaken Théoden and his kingdom through lies and persuasion, in his position as chief advisor to the King.
