Billy Boyd

At the beginning of October 2019, at New York Comic Con, there was a meeting between two actors who played the hobbits in The Lord of the Rings - Sean Astin (Samwise Gamgee) and Billy Boyd (Peregrin Took). During the conversation, the men indulged in nostalgia and recalled funny incidents from the filming. In addition, the conversation touched upon "Stranger Things", or rather the ridiculous death of the American artist's character, which raised several logical questions from the Scottish colleague.

In the late summer of 1968, on the 28th, a son, Billy, was born to the spouses Mary and William Boyd in Glasgow. From childhood, his mother and father supported his passion for theatrical art (even at school, the boy shone in the play based on The Adventures of Oliver Twist, inspired by Star Wars) and did not miss a single performance of his son. Unfortunately, they were gone when the teenager was 12 years old. Billy and his sister Margaret were raised by their grandmother.

Однажды парень рассказал школьному консультанту о своей заветной мечте стать актером, но тот явно признанием не был впечатлен и выбор будущей профессии не одобрил, а посоветовал забыть все эти «глупости» и заняться чем-то другим. В итоге ученик бросил школу и устроился работать переплетчиком, а через 6 лет ему это наскучило, и он собрался было переезжать в США.

Однако что-то заставило его набрать номер Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama и уточнить, сможет ли он поступить через год. На том конце трубки ему ответили, что у них как раз сейчас имеется одно свободное место. В итоге Бойд остался грызть гранит науки, параллельно трудясь в пиццериях, барах и комедийных клубах.

At the end of 2010, December 29, joyful changes took place in Boyd's personal life: he married his colleague Alison McKinon, who four years earlier gave her beloved man a son, Jack William. The wedding was attended by about 30 people, and at the gala reception after - 130.

As for hobbies, the celebrity is crazy about surfing, fencing and martial arts, which allows him to be in good physical shape (height 169 cm with a weight of 67 kg). It is also known that Boyd hates cinnamon, loves porridge for breakfast, his favorite cartoon character is Duffy Duck, and the film is Gregory's Girl.

Billy's filmography began in 1996, when he played in one of the "Taggert" episodes, after 2 years he starred in the short film The Soldier's Leap and the longer horror film A Story of Urban Ghosts. Simultaneously with the filming, the young man took part in theatrical productions of The St. Andrews Theater and Traverse Theater, and later Dundee Repertory Theater.

Soon an agent contacted him and invited him to a casting in "The Lord of the Rings". Billy agreed to come to the audition, however, not really hoping that the case would turn out to be a success. However, Peter Jackson himself flew in to get to know him personally and analyze the script. Soon Boyd was called back and offered the role of Peregrin Took, which made him famous throughout the world.

Billy Boyd vs Dominic Monaghan

It is known that at the beginning of the project the performer was advised to remove his Scottish accent, but in the end, realizing that speech looks boring without him, it was decided to leave everything as it is. By the way, the artist is still friendly with Dominic Monaghan, who played Meriadoc Brandybuck, as evidenced by joint photos on Instagram.

In the future, the creative biography was replenished with "Moby Dick", and "Chucky's offspring", and "Cosmic cocktail", and "Stone of Destiny", as well as dubbing "The Simpsons". In addition, Bill has successfully combined acting and music careers as the frontman of the band Beecake.

In 2018, the Scot starred in Golden Minutes and gave his voice to old Charlie in Tell It to the Bees.

The following year, he appeared on the series Grey's Anatomy and Outlander, and also appeared on Walking with Herb and I Feel Fine.
