Did you guys get totally into character? B.B. Pretty much. It took a lot to take on the Hobbit way of life, which I think is a good thing, because I think Tolkien wrote the Hobbits as being honorable and good people. So I think if you take some of their characteristics I think it’s [...]

You first saw them in the Shire two years ago. Now, Pippin and Merry complete their journey in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. During the first two films, the Hobbit friends have been side by side, but moviegoers will finally see how their stories divert as the two are separated [...]

Billy Boyd (Pippin) and Dominic Monaghan (Merry) are the Abbott and Costello of The Lord of the Rings cast. They’re writing a comedy for themselves to star in, and if it captures even half the humour of their interview, they’ll be laughing all the way to the bank.
National Post: Billy, you starred in Master and [...]

It’s that time of year again.
You know the one I’m talking about.
Come on… You know.
Okay, fine, I’ll tell you. This is the time of year when we cart out the big guns and deliver some of our massive in-depth interviews with castmembers from The Lord of the Rings trilogy. We’ve done Andy Serkis, Ian McKellen, [...]

Every big, heavy epic needs its comic relief, and up until now, Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd have served that purpose in The Lord of the Rings . In Return of the King , however, their characters, Merry and Pippin, get to take center stage. How do they feel about it? We sat in with [...]

Sitting down with Billy and Dom was a real treat! It was very obvious that the travelling back and forth from New Zealand, and the endless interviews was weighing on Dom just a little bit, but Billy on the hand…was talkative as a Hobbit could be! hehe We had a great time, and tired or [...]

Is it strange to get women to scream with the raise of your hand?

Can you explain just how crazy the World Premiere was?
120,000 people on the streets of New Zealand screaming out people’s names and going [...]

With the release of the much anticipated movie, “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King”, we recently had the wonderful opportunity to speak with the man behind the hairy footed Hobbit, “Merry”, Dominic Monaghan, in “The Lord of the Rings” Trilogy.
For those of you who do not know, Dominic Monaghan is sweet [...]

How was the process of doing your scenes?
Billy: The height thing. Lots of different ways. Sometimes really simply, like the scenes on the balcony in Minas Tirith, I was just on my knees. And you saw Gandalf in the background; they had the really tall guy called Paul. And he would dress –
Dom: Tall Paul
Billy: [...]

BILLY: Hello, Dominic.
DOM: Hello, Bill.
BILLY: Welcome at Premiere’s…
DOM: I meant to ask you…
BILLY: What?
DOM: …when was your biggest drinking session during filming?
BILLY: I’m a very shy drunk.
DOM: I understand. Can I tell the answer for you, then?
BILLY: Nah, that’ll do, thank you.
