Does anyone know the names of the scale doubles? I'm afraid I've only heard Kiran Shah's name mentioned before, and everywhere I've looked thus far lacks a list of them.
I was trying to find the names of the scale doubles for LOTR and the Hobbit. All I could find was Kiran Shah. They are not credited. I think that is sad.
@birchdryadgirl One of them is, Martin, he was Dom's double (the one they were saying looked like him). The others were little people. You can see more of them in the Updated video linked in the info.
The doubles are better than the original actors. It would have been better, if diminutive people would have played the hobbits, it would have been much more authentic.
@MegaSmud it's because Jackson envisioned the Hobbits as being small, but proportioned normally. real people with dwarfism have a number of skeletal differences especially in skull structure.
@Theriot6592 Yes, but look at the doubles: the do not look deformed. There are people, who have severe skeletal deformities and those, who are just small.
The size double for Frodo in this was Kiran Shah. (the one talking to Peter Jackson) I filmed a movie with Kiran last summer called Harvey Putter and the Ridiculous Premise. He's an awesome guy!
omg, this is so cute! the little ones seem to be actual hobbits! and when you see all of them togeter... this is really nice to see! thx 4 sharing this. really

@martingray73
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're saying you played in this movie when you were 12?
Thats weird, cuz your profile says you're 22. Was this movie made 10 years ago?
GeneralErlend 2 years ago
Well, FOTR was released in 2001, which means filming would've began before then, Its 2010, you do the math.

@GeneralErlend no but it was made 9 years ago so martins age would be in the 21-22 age zone depending on which month he was born :)
