Hedged my bets with this book because it was about a Hollywood star but Sean came across surprisingly personable and likable.

He describes himself (before LOTR) as a journeyman actor. Could I really feel for someone who "only" got $250,000 for the three years to be part of the LOTR trilogy? For me, he managed to cross that line from Hollywood brat to just a person trying to become something and be part of something special.

And aren't we all?

You'll get next to nothing of Goonies and LOTR only comes into play in the second half of the book. He has some great insights there.
