Hobbits are a lot like Scots. It’s all about nature and enjoying their land, which is a very Scottish thing.

Billy Boyd

Strangely enough, the first time I tried to read [The Lord of the Rings] I was on holiday in Florida. I dropped it in the pool my first day there. If that’s not a Pippin thing to do, I don’t know what is.

I think the ears are a strange look for me. Quite big. But I loved the hair down to my shoulders. It felt right. I’m thinking of letting my hair go.

Acting, music, painting… it’s very subjective. So what I might think is a great actor, you might think is not a very good actor at all.
BILLY BOYD

Acting Actors Thinking
Life in LA is not lying in the sun for months. It is having a 4pm meeting and leaving at noon to sit in traffic for four hours. Its not glam.
BILLY BOYD

BILLY BOYD

Given Havens Thinking
To play one of the main characters in it, it’s not the kind of thing you don’t do. Oh, I’d rather not play Pippin in Lord of the Rings…
