Boyd is one exceptionally entertaining individual, both on screen and musically, and he was a vocal advocate of not being selfish with the things you create. Here are a few things I picked up from the man who made us all love Peregrin “Pippin” Took.ĭon’t hide your talents. I had no idea, however, how much we would learn from his casual, positive personality about the importance of the creative spirit. He is also a patron of the Scottish Youth Theatre, and the National Boys’ Choir of Scotland.Īs an unapologetic follower of all things Tolkien and an admirer of Boyd’s music, I attended the event with my teenage daughter fully expecting to be entertained. The Scottish-born actor is best known for his performance as Pippin in the Lord of The Rings trilogy, as well as for his moving performance of the ending song, “The Last Goodbye,” for The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies.

The event was of the many free presentations offered at the Las Cruces International Film Festival. And as the quest continues, he becomes far braver than he, or anyone else, could have ever imagined.I recently had the privilege of attending an event in which actor, musician, and hobbit Billy Boyd spent an afternoon answering questions from young musicians, filmmakers, and Lord of the Rings fans.
But he more than makes up for his occasional foolishness with loyalty. When they’re in the mines of Moria, he accidentally knocks a skeleton down a well, alerting evil orcs about their location. Pippin’s clumsiness gets the party into hairy situations more often than anyone would like. Personality… cheerful, bumbling, and not the sharpest sword in the armory. There must be someone with intelligence in the party.” But Pippin is sure that he needs to stick with Frodo: “We hobbits ought to stick together, and we will. It quickly becomes very difficult for the group to stay together, as danger lurks around every corner.

His interest in women (or female hobbits, anyway) is not yet in full swing, but he’s still young.Ĭhallenge… remaining with the Fellowship. The troublesome hobbit steals the wizard Gandalf’s magical fireworks and almost burns himself to a crisp in the process, during Bilbo Baggins’ 111 th birthday party. Interests… mushrooms, ale, and fireworks. Too young to have a full-fledged profession, Pippin follows his friends wherever they may go, even if that means going on a death-defying quest across Middle Earth. Yet he slowly proves himself to be more clever than the clumsy fool he’s thought to be, such as when even Gandalf curses him as a “fool of a Took!” Which is saying a lot, considering how foolish other Took hobbits are. At first, Pippin can offer little more than his companionship. Pippin’s role is accompanying Frodo, who is the true bearer of the Ring. Living… as part of the Fellowship of the Ring, a ragtag group of adventurers dead-set on bearing the Ring of Power to its final resting place (hopefully) in Mount Doom. The three drank, ate, and stole mushrooms from local farmers. Once the two of them were old enough to start trouble, that’s what they did on the regular, along with their close friend and Pippin’s cousin, Frodo Baggins. Grew Up… in the Shire, eight years younger than his best friend and fellow hobbit, Merry.
