In a recent interview Lord Of The Rings and Goonies star Sean Astin talked about the two roles he is most famous for.

Speaking about the adaptation of Jr Tolkien's Lord Of The Rings he said: "When you compliment something you've done, you run the risk of kind of minimising some of the other things you've done.

"I think it's fair to say it's the most significant work of my life. Peter Jackson is the only person who could really have done that because of his vision.

"Even the most brilliant film-makers, their movies are untouchable, fantastic, but they couldn't have done Lord Of The Rings the way Peter did."

He also stated that there WILL be a Goonies sequel:

"They'll do it, for sure. No question about it. I think they would like to do it with all of us, and maybe they will, but they're trying to crack the code you know?

"Goonies is about how great it is to be kids, and we were so identifiable with it that audiences want to see us, so they're trying to figure out how to do both. You can't have
Goonies without kids, and yet they want to see us.

"They just want to crack the code and once they get there, they'll make it. I'll bet serious big money that at some point it'll get done."
