The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' actor Richard Amitage relished being able to take control of 13 fellow dwarves during a boot camp in preparation for the film.

The 41-year-old actor - who plays powerful dwarf warrior Thorin Oakenshiel - enjoyed taking on the role of leader and taking control of the unruly gang of 13 dwarves during a physically demanding boot camp.
He explained: ''There was one improvisation that we did during our dwarf boot camp where we were taken outside and it was the first time that I actually found the confidence to command a crack unit of troops. We were crouching in trees and building campfires...
''It was brilliant to feel the aura amongst the dwarves. I think the training process we went through, the physical, really bonded us together and I think when we came to work on set it was pretty moving.''
Richard's revenge-consumed character Thorin is on a mission to reclaim his father's lost kingdom of Erabor from Smaug the dragon, but the actor admits he is actually extremely laid back as person so it was a challenge to embody his alter ego.
Speaking at the press conference for 'The Hobbit' at London's Claridge's Hotel, he told BANG Showbiz: ''He's got quite a lot to be angry about I think! For Thorin it's very much a now or never moment.
''One of the Nordic translations for Thorin comes from Thor and I feel he carries that thunder very much in his heart. As a person I'm quite calm and placid so it's nice to give vent to a little anger!''

MUST BUY.
The page actually won't load for me and they don't even ship to my country :(
It's cartoony. :/
That said I actually like it. And I love how soft and silky his eyelashes look.
I barely remembered him in this so I put in my Cap blu-ray and watched his part lmao
They didn't understand quality.
I bought the kiddie book of Cap A just to know what happens (and I'm a dork) and when his character died I threw it across the room.
My poor roommate was so confused.
I always feel conflicted when I see really good drawings of...uncomfortable pairings.
Party on bbs~
I'm doing the dwarves proud
lol hair
