A final part of the screen version of the epic J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy
Only it is necessary to mention that just to Faramir we owe a Wenham's triumphal coming to the world screen. Thanks to this role David was recognized all over the world, including such a huge piece as Russia. From this point a fans-movement of Australian Wenham has got a global scale.
We would like to believe that David has got enough powers and talent not to remain an eternal Faramir just as he didn't remain an eternal Diver Dan.
