He was born in Dunoon, Scotland to an Irish mother and English father, killed in action in World War II a month before his son was born, in 1943. McCoy was on stage and in children&#8217;s television and then was, most famously, chosen as the seventh incarnation of the title character in the television series &#8220;Doctor Who.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He is known for his comedy roles and most recently as the slightly wacky wizard \u2014 whom Gandalf considers a very great one in his own way \u2014 in Peter Jackson&#8217;s &#8220;The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.&#8221; He is believed to play an important role in the next two films as well, helping Gandalf in the film trailer for the second flick, &#8220;The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>McCoy is scheduled to appear as part of the Tolkien Track at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dragoncon.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dragon Con<\/a> in Atlanta, Georgia, August 30 &#8211; September 2. He will appear twice as part of the Tolkien&#8217;s Middle-earth Track (<a href=\"http:\/\/middleearth.dragoncon.org\/schedule-2012\/\" target=\"_blank\">click here for the full schedule<\/a>) that includes <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dragoncon.org\/?q=guest_details_page\/2999\" target=\"_blank\">Manu Bennett<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dragoncon.org\/?q=guest_details_page\/2957\" target=\"_blank\">William Kircher<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dragoncon.org\/?q=guest_details_page\/2955\" target=\"_blank\">Graham McTavish.<\/a> TheOneRing.net will be on hand during all of Dragon Con along with a table to meet with fellow fans, sell t-shirts and deliver three panels about the films along with a good contingent of Tolkien fans. The programming features 28 Tolkien-themed panels, believed to be the largest in one place in North America in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>Below is McCoy&#8217;s chat with Clifford Broadway, our own Quickbeam on TORn Tuesday.
