Quickbeam from Peter Jackson's The Two Towers.

Quickbeam was one of the younger Ents of Fangorn Forest belonging to the people of Skinbark. His name (a translation of Elvish Bregalad) was given because of uncharacteristic hastiness. He was the first ent to make his mind up at the Entmoot. He sheltered, in his home, the two hobbits, Merry, and Pippin while the other ents made up their minds at the entmoot. The rowan-trees in his keeping suffered greatly at the hands of Saruman's Orcs, and he played a great part in the Ents' resulting attack on Isengard. Quickbeam was almost completely edited out of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings and never named, only to be recognized by Tolkien Fans.
