Hobbit Trivia 2

Okay, so in the last installment of Racu's Current Infatuation, we covered Thorin, Balin, Dwalin, Bifur, and Bofur. This time, let's look at Bombur, Ori, Nori, and Dori.  Next time we'll get Óin and Glóin, and the pretty boyz Fili and Kili. Oh my.

(If I've used your photo and you have issues with it, please let me know and I'll take it down)


Bombur: Stephen Hunter - Another Kiwi. Born in Wellington in 1968, 5'7". Looks like almost all his work was in TV prior to being cast in The Hobbit. He enjoys making people laugh. Starring in a couple of upcoming movies.

There always has to be a fat person to poke fun at, doesn't there? Some things never change. :(

Ori: Adam Brown - born 1980 in Hungerford, Berkshire, UK, 5'7". The Hobbit is his first movie role. Co-founder of the comedy writing/performing team "Plested and Brown."   The scene in Goblin Town implies Ori is the youngest dwarf, when in fact Kili is. (In The Hobbit, Fili is described as being the youngest, but in Appendix A of LoTR, Fili's birth year is TA 2859, Kili's is TA 2864).

Nori: Jed Brophy - born 1963 Feilding, NZ. 5'9"  In several of Jackson's films including LoTR. His son, Sadwyn Brown is also in LoTR and plays Aragorn and Arwen's son, Eldarion, in her vision. Jed was a stunt performer in Lovely Bones, and appeared in "Xena: Warrior Princess, among many other gigs.

That brings us to Dori: Mark Hadlow - One of New Zealand's most prominent actors, born 1957, is also a comedian, singer, writer, producer, and director. 5'7" (seems  Jackson has a thing for that height, eh?). Voiced several parts in Meet the Feebles and was in King Kong. Also appeared in Xena.
