Hang on, I’m throwing the challenge flag on this one. Frodo was the one who got in trouble for stealing Maggot’s mushrooms, when he was a young hobbit staying at Brandy Hall. Farmer Maggot caught him, and had his hounds chase the young thief off. That’s why he didn’t want to go on to Maggot’s land when the party was going from Bag End to Crickhollow. Merry had no apprehension, he knew the farmer wouldn’t object to him passing through Maggot’s fields.
Ah, gotcha, I was thinking of Frodo in the movies. I will waive one of my DQs.

I fulfilled a longtime ambition by going to Blobfest, a celebration of all things Blob held at the Colonial Theatre, this past July. Not only did I get to see the movie where it (partially) takes place, I got to participate in the annual re-enactment of the run-out scene.
DQs:
1. known primarily for film?
2. main character?
Oh, god, it’s on the tip of my tongue. Ewan McGregor talked about making lightsaber noises when playing Obi-Wan Kenobi, but he doesn’t fit. It was some actor who went “pewpewpew” when shooting his blaster. Grrr, take a DQ.
