Star Pick with Billy Boyd

For those of you who know me well, it is no secret that I’m a huge The Lord of the Rings fan... and it has been a goal of mine to meet and interview as many stars from the trilogy as possible. So, when I got the chance to chat with Billy Boyd about his favourite film, it was an absolute treat. Best known for playing Peregrin ‘Pippin’ Took, one of the loveable and quite comedic hobbits in the franchise (who is most often seen opposite Dominic Monahan’s Merry), it is most definitely worth highlighting some of his other roles, including 2003's epic Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (where he plays coxswain Barrett Bonden), 2005's On a Clear Day (a dramedy about swimming the English channel), while he also features in both the horror film Seed of Chucky and the television show Chucky (2021-2024), and even appeared in four episodes of the very popular series Outlander as Gerald Forbes.
