I rather like this rolling release of characters from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Here we have the dwarves Dwalin and Balin. IMDB gives the credits to Graham McTavish and Ken Stott. Two fine Scottish actors there.
In addition, Warner Bros have shared a character description for the pair.
“Dwarf Lords in their own right, Balin and Dwalin are close relatives of Thorin. Beyond this, these brothers are two of his most loyal and trusted friends. An old warrior, Balin has lived through hard times and fought many battles, yet he harbors doubts about the wisdom of the Quest to retake the Lonely Mountain. Dwalin has no such forebodings – his belief in Thorin’s leadership is unshakeable. A powerful and bruising fighter, with a natural tendency to distrust anyone who is not a Dwarf, particularly anyone who might be an Elf, Dwalin is not someone to cross lightly.”
Got to agree. Dwalin does not look like a dwarf to mess with.
