- TriviaThis Kiwi actor played three different roles in "Lord of the Rings" series, more speaking parts than any other actor in it, although his face is never seen. In "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" he played Lurtz, the muscular, arrow-throwing leader of the Uruk-Hai and in "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" he played Gothmog, the macho leader of Saruman's new and improved Orcs who is described by his creators as "a cross between John Wayne and the Elephant Man", and lastly, the Witch King of Angmar; the helmeted, towering Nazgul (formerly a human King) who engages Eowyn in battle. All three of his villainous characters are killed by the heroes.
- QuotesI always play the bad guys. In the next 007 film (Die Another Day) I play the bad guy. It's a type cast thing.
- TrademarkThis hulking Kiwi actor almost always plays villainous brutes due to his size.
