Sean Astin

I bet you know Sean Astin for so many roles. He is Mikey Walsh in the classic 1985 film The Goonies, the ever-loyal friend Samwise Gamgee in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and the sweetest boyfriend Bob Newby in Stranger Things Season 3. However, I guess you didn’t know he is the son of the legendary actress, Patty Duke.

Despite the scandal that came with his birth, Sean grew up to be a good guy, not to mention a good actor, credits to her mother. By the looks of it, acting is in Sean’s genes. He started his acting career at the tender age of 13. Since then, he has been seen in several movies, but his role in LOTR is the one that marks the most. Now, 49 years old, Sean has become an essential part of Hollywood cinema.
