I went to Armageddon 2011 today, a comic-con here in my home town, and who should be there as a keynote speaker but John Rhys-Davies, the actor who played Gimli in the LOTR. How cool is that!!! He was sitting alone at the autograph table when I got there. There were not other LOTR actors there, but Karen Allen was there (she was my fav actress for decades after Raiders of the Lost Ark).

I was totally geeked out, I felt like Sheldon or Leonard from Big Bang Theory.

Hey that's great Alan! Isn't it so cool that he's really 6'2" and well over 200lbs in real life.

He was sitting down, so I didn't get any idea about how tall he was. He certainly didn't look 6'2" to me, but then I suppose I have this mental image of him as a dwarf and it would have been a bit too much for me if he'd been towering over me (I'm 5'8")

His height is officially listed on IMDB as 6'1". Him playing a dwarf was a huge joke on the set of Lord of the Rings. He was taller than Orlando Bloom (5'11"0 and Sean Bean (5'10").

You didn't invite him for a drinking contest? Remarkable. A dwarf and an Aussie and not a drop of alcohol in sight... :P No regurgitation...
