The Post-LOTR Renaissance

The Fellowship is everywhere! Look at the cast list for return of the king and click on any of their names. Pretty much all of them are working. In the past month I've seen Boromir, Frodo, and even Aragorn himself in movies. Samwise and Merry seem to be doing pretty well on TV too. And Of course demand for esteemed Gandalf and Gimli hasn't dwindled yet either.
This is the biggest troop of actors to spill onto the silver screen from a single project since Boogie Nights when Don Cheadle, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Julianne Moore, and John C Reilly started popping up in every goddamn movie you saw.
Now I won't dismiss the cinematic contributions of Zoolander and Old School, lending the Wilson Brothers, Vince Vaughn, Will Ferrell, and Ben Stiller to a seemingly endless parade of screwball comedies... but the Fellowship Of The Ring are hitting thrillers, dramas, horror, and comedy. Doesn't Viggo have a band too? They'll end up in musicals before long too.
