John Rhys-Davies / Lord of the Rings
Gimli, son of Glóin! John Rhys-Davies must have had some serious patience to sit through hours of prosthetic work to become the stout dwarf. But did you know that Rhys-Davies had doubts about taking the role? He thought the movie would be a total flop and didn't want to spend years in prosthetics for nothing.
But boy, was he wrong! Plus, did you catch that hilarious trick he played on set? Rhys-Davies, missing a finger in real life, used a prosthetic one for the character and would go around with fake blood to prank his fellow cast and crew members. What a cheeky guy! Despite his initial reservations, Rhys-Davies' commitment to his role as Gimli added depth to the character and brought some lighthearted humor to the set with his playful pranks, making his transformation into the stout dwarf all the more memorable.
