Dentures and bad memories

By his own admission, as we learn in Saga’s audio commentary, John Rhys-Davies doesn’t have particularly fond memories of filming the trilogy. Gimli’s interpreter, who is obliged to wear prosthetics on his face all the time, ended up a bit behind the other actors:

“It made me so isolated and paranoid, so lonely”– says John Rhys-Davies. “I didn’t want to go out or have dinner with other people. I wanted to be alone, ashamed of my face. And for me, the most fun part of acting is being with other people.”

Lurtz’s makeup

John Rhys-Davies isn’t the only actor in the saga to endure lengthy make-up sessions. Indeed, we can also cite the ordeal of Lawrence Macquarie, who played the monstrous leader of the Uruk-Hai in The Fellowship of the Ring. In order to give him the appearance of this terrible creature, he needed 9 hours of makeup each time.
