Meriadoc Brandybuck, Charlie Pace, and now host of his own global adventure cable series, actor Dominic Monaghan has had no shortage of priceless life experiences.

Monaghan, who’s promoting his third season of Wild Things on the Travel Channel (Wednesdays at 10 PM!), shared that “I do stuff and I also do things,” before opening up to Reddit for questions.

What’s his favorite Lord of the Rings moment?

So how’d he manage to get a spider named after him?

Favorite Lost character? (Other than the very tragic Charlie, of course)

What’s the most difficult part about filming Wild Things?

Would he rather take on a Smoke Monster (Lost) or a horde of Orcs (Lord of the Rings trilogy)?

Why is turmeric the answer to life?

And, most importantly: Should this redditor ask for a raise?
