The Fellowship
The fellowship consisted of nine randomly picked out people who would go to Mordor and destroy the ring. Of course only 2 of them actually made it there, the rest just kind of chilled out and waited for them to return.

Frodo Baggins
Elijah Wood
He's the "main guy" so to speak, Frodo is the lead hobbit who has the ring and he alone must drop it into Mount Doom to destroy it. Not the most enviable task ever.

Sam Gamgee
Sean Astin
Frodo's number two as it were, Sam follows Frodo pretty much everywhere he goes on his magical journey.

Merry
Dominic Monaghan
Liking nothing better than food and smoking, Merry is yet another of these hobbit creatures he end up going off towards Mordor. Not that Merry gets very far before being captured by orks.

Pippin
Billy Boyd
Yes, these hobbits just keep coming. This one even reaches the level of fool after looking into the seeing stone.

Gandalf
Ian McKellen
Without good old Gandalf everyone would probably be dead several times over. He starts of Gandalf the grey but later returns with a nice white robe looking very flashy.

Aragorn
Viggo Mortensen
Known as Strider the ranger, Aragorn should actually be king of Gondor if only he would take his rightful place. Deep down he is a true warrior and great leader.

Legolas Greenleaf
Orlando Bloom
When did Legolas get a surname? As with all fantasy films you have to have the toiken elf and Legolas has the added advantage of being one of the best. Look at those wacky acrobatics he can do!

Gimli
John Rhys-Davies
Always the first to provide a little humour, Gimli is the short Dwarf guy who is always battling against Legolas to see who can slay the most enemies. "Weh, it still only counts as one!"

Boromir
Sean Bean
Proud and brave warrior, Boromir is apple of his fathers eye. Shame really that he gets killed by orks at the end of the first film.
