Actor Sean Astin, campaigning for Hillary Clinton, shocked the crowd at Sandhills Community College Tuesday morning by beginning his speech with some nice words -- about John McCain. Astin, the 37-year-old star of such movies as the Notre Dame football drama "Rudy," the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy and "Goonies," has been stumping for Clinton across North Carolina with Clinton's daughter, Chelsea. But Astin said he is supporting Clinton now. He said he first met her at a Colorado event in 1992. He said after that event, he asked Clinton if there was anything in particular she wanted him to tell the media. He said Clinton told him to just talk about what got him involved and what he cares about. Actor Campaigns for Hillary at SCC BY

Upon his arrival, the Lord of the Rings actor spoke with campaign volunteers and then began making phone calls to area homeowners. “I’m a lifelong Democrat and I’m inspired by Obama,” said Astin, who previously stumped for Sen.
