Meet Kili and Fili, two more dwarves from Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Filmmaker Peter Jackson have been doing a terrific job giving Tolkien fans a slow trickle of info from THE HOBBIT films, including video diaries, brief news posts and snapshots of the actors in character.

This time around it’s a look at Dean O’Gorman and Aidan Turner as Fili and Kili. While I suppose they’re comparatively “handsome” for dwarves, Turner is still a ways from his dreamy vampire on “Being Human”…

MSN introduces them like so: “Two of the youngest Dwarves, Fili and Kili have been born into the royal line of Durin and raised under the stern guardianship of their uncle, Thorin Oakenshield. Neither has ever travelled far, nor ever seen the fabled Dwarf City of Erebor. For both, the journey to the Lonely Mountain represents adventure and excitement. Skilled fighters, both brothers set off on their adventure armed with the invincible courage of youth, neither being able to imagine the fate which lies before them.”
