Having seen AUJ, I still can't figure out who this dwarf might be (which we saw in Vlog 6).

It definitely can't be Thror or Thrain ... and it's not Billy Connolly (Dain) - then who might it be?

Probably a random Erebor refugee [In reply to] Can't Post

A NZ paper mentioned being on location when Andy Serkis directed 100 dwarf extras who were walking down a mountain. Prosthetics supervisor Tami Lane also mentioned having a cameo.

I think this is the only shot left of that scene in the movie: http://i.imgur.com/8Zspoh.jpg

Maybe [In reply to] Can't Post

Maybe one of the extras from the prologue they showed again as a refugee? The background reminds me of the wandering dwarves scene.

Considering he had a speaking role in the Vlog [In reply to] Can't Post

I thought he would make a more substantial appearance than an extra... but I guess you're both right about the refugees (even his clothing seems to suggest so)

Why would refugees... [In reply to] Can't Post

... walk right up to the top of a mountain anyway? You'd just walk around it or, in a Dwarf's case, under it.

Thorin: "Let's just go up this mountain so that I can get another heroic hero shot."

Refugee dwarves: "Another one?! *grumble* "

No its not [In reply to] Can't Post

You make for a pass in the mountains - means you dont have to walk as far - this is done all around the world because its quicker and easier.

That was my first impression too [In reply to] Can't Post

seeing a possible resemblance to Balin and Dwalin.
