David Harbour appears on stage to accept his award at the 2018 Critics’ Choice Awards held at The Barker Hangar on Thursday (January 11) in Santa Monica, Calif.
The 42-year-old actor won the award for Best Supporting Actor for his work in the show Stranger Things.
Also in attendance at the event were David‘s co-star Sean Astin as well as his new girlfriend Alison Sudol, who walked the red carpet separately.
Sean Astin made an appearance on The Late Show on Wednesday evening (November 8) and met the man who is famously known as the number one Lord of the Rings fan… host Stephen Colbert!
“You are my favorite character in my favorite movie. I am�” I don’t know what�” how to describe how excited I am to meet you right now,” Stephen told the 46-year-old actor, who played Samwise Gamgee in the trilogy.
Stephen then told the audience that Sean and him actually met briefly during rehearsals first. Stephen described the situation saying, “I was trying to rehearse it, you walked out just to say hi in your underwear. And�” hey! I gotta tell you�” I gotta tell you, for me, it’s like I’m the cheerleader meeting the captain of the football team.”
“The reason I did that, come out to see you like that, my 15-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, begged me not to do anything to embarrass the family,” Sean revealed before continuing to embarrass his daughter even further by giving her a shout out on national television, saying, “Elizabeth, I love you!”
Stephen and Sean spent most of their time talking about Lord of the Rings instead of his role in Stranger Things 2, which was only mentioned briefly – Watch below!
Sean Astin Knew Nothing About ‘Lord Of The Rings’ Once Upon A Time
“I saw that the other day, and I thought that was intriguing,” the 46-year-old Stranger Things 2 star, who starred as Samwise Gamgee in Lord of the Rings series, expressed while visiting EW Radio at SiriusXM on Tuesday (November 7) in New York City.
“I’ve been saying for 15 years that maybe like 12 years after Lord of the Rings came out, that it would get remade. And people always said, ‘Oh no, it’ll never get remade! It’s a classic! They could never top it!’ And I’m like, ‘No, it’ll get remade. It’s a massive story! The characters are so beloved,” Sean added about his character. “When I saw the Amazon thing, that didn’t even occur to me. I just sort of thought, ‘What would it be like to see the next Sam there?’ I think it’s an intriguing idea [but] the devil’s in the details. How would they do it? How? Who?’”
The cast of Stranger Things has started work on the second season of the hit series and three more stars have been added, including Sean Astin!
The 45-year-old actor is best known for his work as the title character in Rudy, Mikey Walsh in The Goonies, and Samwise Gamgee in The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Sean is set to play Bob Newby, “a kindhearted former nerd who went to high school with Joyce (Winona Ryder) and Hopper (David Harbour) and now manages the local Hawkins RadioShack,” according to Entertainment Weekly.
