Which one's Gimli? The midget?

Ya. The funny thing, is that thanks to Peter Jackson's wizardry, the 6'1" Davies appeared to be a true midget next to the other actors in the saga.

If you can't picture him, you might also know Davies better as Professor Arturo in the Fox/SciFi series "Sliders".

I know who Rhys-Davies is, and I had no idea that that was him in The Lord of the Rings.

I just assumed the actor was really a midget.

Those sorts of special effects are going to spell the end of many a midget-actor's career.

I'll always remember him as Indiana Jones's archaelogical foreman. "Bad dates".
