16) Samwise Gamgee in The Lord of the Rings Trilogy

Frodo may carry the One Ring and the weight of saving Middle-earth, but it’s Sam who’s the real hero behind the scenes, the one who keeps him going when the journey gets impossible. Sam isn’t just a gardener, he’s the unsung soul who holds the story together when all seems lost. His epic speech in The Two Towers about hope still gives us goosebumps. While Frodo was marked by destiny and prophecy, Sam’s strength was a quiet force that came from the purest part of him, his heart.
