Q: So, Aidan, how did you land the part of Kili the dwarf?
A: Peter requested a meeting. A couple of months later I got a call out of the blue asking if I wanted to spend a year and a half in Middle-earth? There was a fair bit of screaming on my balcony at half-eight in the morning in Cardiff: “Yes! Yes! Oh yes!”

Q: You haven't been uglified like your fellow dwarves. Why not?
A: Because I’m just too damn pretty! No, seriously, I did wear prosthetics in the early days but it made me look too old. So I got away with a sliver of fake nose and a mere 90 minutes in hair and make-up, whereas the other dwarves were coming in at three hours.

LOL! That's lovely. He must've been over the moon. I mean, it's not every day that you get one of the main parts in Peter frickin' Jackson's movie! And in such an epic thing, too! I'm so happy for him and I hope it gets him all the parts he wants from now on.
