...we were still missing a few dwarves. Have they all been cast? If not, what does that mean?
Looking forward to chapter discussion of LotR The Two Towers, Book III, beginning Jan. 9, 2010!

Ken Stott was the latest addition as Balin, along with Jed Brophy as Nori. It was in the announcement alongside Persbrandt, Blanchett & co

..somewhere on the Isle of Man, John Rhys-Davies is laughing. "You don't know what you're in for..."  Boot camp, in that make-up, indeed.
*j/k. Wonderful.* We get to see all this play out in real time.
Incredible to think that in 2001, beubg able to watch moving pictures on the Internet was a pipeweed dream. No YouTube, no Twitter, no Facebook, nothing. The Trailers for LOTR were painstakingly reproduced by TPTB and analyzed frame by pixellated frame. (Remember folks?) THe Internet still amazes me attimes. In terms of where we are now tio where we were then, it's like going from horses and carriages to a Model T. (So much more to come!)

He used to post on here. I thought he was cast as one of the dwarves. He seems to have disappeared.

I remember him saying that everyone behind the scenes in New Zealand was celebrating that the production was going to stay there – even though the dispute was ongoing and Jackson still seemed very worried. BOB never posted again, as far as I'm aware.

I loved each and every one of him in LotR. Bet his little boy is all growed up now. It would be great to see a recent pic.

He had auditioned for one of the 13, but a younger dwarf, Kili or Fili maybe? He intimated he had got the part.

He claimed a lot of things and got a little gruff with doubters.

Bond-of Blood last posted October 21, 2010. He is now invisible if you are interested.

In one post he said he was doing some makeuptests... Or training with a beard. He even said he had a role in an upcoming ´big´ picture. When I found out what his real name was, I asked him about everything. He then said that he wasn´t cast.
The role in the ´big´ picture turned out to be an extra in a ´not so big´ movie, that bombed. So I guess he didn´t get a part in The Hobbit..
He was a little bit harsh when people questioned the authenticity of his words...

I was inclined to believe him at the time. He first posted here asking for tips on accent, etc for his upcoming audition, but over time his attitude changed and he rubbed a few people up the wrong way. It's a pity he didn't take the time to post how he really got on. I wonder why he is invisible?

That is the only thing I can think of. As to why...I could make some guesses but I will not. He may have very good reasons.

I wonder why Fili went to NZ via LA?
[In reply to]

More often than not, travellers from the UK go via Dubai/Singapore. He appears to have been in LA for 5 days so perhaps he was in discussion for further film roles off the back of his part in TH. Wonder if any of the other cast members went with him.

Flying from LA to NZ is also a popular route, and can be quicker than going via Singapore. It also makes sense if the actor wants to talk with LA (ie, Hollywood) based people about future projects.
