Billy Boyd
AGE 35
'RINGS' ROLE Pippin Took, the other ''other'' hobbit
BEFORE 'LOTR' Things were looking dire before Scotsman Boyd stepped into his hobbit clodhoppers. His final pre-''Rings'' role was in the 1999 British bomb ''Julie and the Cadillacs.''
AFTER 'LOTR' Considering he was previously unknown Stateside, the ''LOTR'' connection likely helped Boyd land a high-profile role as the coxswain to Russell Crowe's ship captain in ''Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World.'' Check him while that film is still in theaters -- the actor doesn't have much else planned as of now.
