I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll all miss John as part of The Hobbit cast. From Empireonline.com: John Rhys-Davies was, of course, Gimli the dwarf in The Lord of the Rings, and gave the series many of its funniest and most memorable moments. And while Gimli doesn&#8217;t appear in The Hobbit, his father Gloin does, so we asked him recently whether he&#8217;d be back for another go. &#8220;I&#8217;ve already been asked and to be honest with you, I wouldn&#8217;t. I have already completely ruled it out. There&#8217;s a sentimental part of me that would love to be involved again. Really I am not sure my face can take that sort of punishment any more.&#8221; <strong>More..<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to many of you who sent in this story from Empireonline.com.
