"I could never read Tolkien. I always found him unreadable … I didn’t read [the books], and I normally don’t like people who have! The people who love it, they’re kind of scary. They talk all this gobbledygook and they think of it as the Holy Grail."
― Billy Connolly[1]

Sir William Connolly CBE, better known as Billy Connolly, portrayed Dáin Ironfoot in The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.[2]
