“He’s a fish out of water, a little boy lost; he’s very intelligent and really quite sensitive (he probably also has a nut allergy) but even though he’s not macho like the other Dwarves, he is really up for going on this journey. He’s rather like a raw, young army recruit: keen, wet behind the ears and with absolutely no idea what he’s getting into.”

He got the news when he was in a car driving through north London in appalling weather. He didn’t believe it as first, and then he did a lot of screaming and shouting! Brown stopped at a pub and went and had a scotch – it may have been two, actually, and he never drinks whiskey. Brown wanted to share the news with people but his mobile phone was dead, so he was wandering round the pub desperately asking if anyone had a phone-charger!
Brown doesn’t think he is as nerdy as what Ori is.
As part of the role process, he went and took calligraphy lessons.
The role of Ori in The Hobbit Trilogy marks his first film appearance.
