The Lost Hobbit Who's My BOTW
Dom was born in Berlin on December 8, 1976 to English parents. They moved back to Manchester when he was 12. When he was 15 his father gave him a copy of 'The Lord of the Rings' and told him he had six months to read it. He read it in two (cuz it's one of the best books ever). Of course then when he got the chance to audition for the movie, he 
simply had to. He actually auditioned for Frodo, but instead got the part of Meriadoc Brandybuck (which, for some reasons I think is better). (Merry got cheated in the movie, though. In the book he has a more important role.) Oh, and he also got to be Gollum for one scene. Andy Serkis wasn't there the first day they were filming Gollum scenes for FOTR, so Dom filled in!
So then, from one of my favorite movies of all time, he went to one of my favorite shows (even if it does frustrate me sometimes). He's Charlie, who is one of my favorite characters (if you watch the show, you'll know why - hint, hint chelleybutton :) .He collaborated with some of his LOTR cast mates on a cd called 'PandemoniumfromAmerica.' He wrote and performed a few of the songs, one of which he did with Elijah Wood that is tres amusing. So anyway, he sings and writes music and plays the guitar, so he can serenade me which is a very happy thing.
In 2003, Dom bought a forest in India to help the environment cuz he's a treehugger (yay!). He loves bugs, too, which I don't, but he's a boy, so I guess that's okay. He did karate when he was younger, and he surfs, both of which are cool things that maybe he can teach me! (But he'll have to teach me to swim first for that surfing thing.) Plus also, he has an English accent. :)
Unfortunately he smokes (eew, eew, eew!), is 5'8" (although, actually, he's the tallest of the hobbits, which is perfect cuz in the book Merry's the tallest, too), and is dating (or engaged to, depending on the source) Evangeline Lilly. (But hey, they ain't married. Besides he said, "I've always had itching feet. I like being on the move every couple of years," and he and Evangeline have been together for awhile now. Looks like it's my turn!)
So since it's my turn, I'll take it!

actually those first 3 are too close together, but they go with the words, so what can i do
and he sounds like a pretty good botw, aside from the smoking, height, and drugginess ;)
nah, i think they're fine
and good job finding a decent lotr pic :)
i love accents :)
i think it's right that he's merry, and elijah is frodo
chelleybutton she didn't mention drugginess in it... but you probably know more about him than i do outside of these BOTW summaries cuz ... he's a somebody. those are good pix and i dig the being serenaded thing (musicians are hot). but i don't think i'll be stealing this one either. lately i haven't had the urge to steal your botw's. cept Gil. he's stolen my heart ages ago. (bring out the crackers to go with the cheese!)
:D to gilbert :)
dom's a druggie on his show "lost," so he must be one in real life too ;)
he's not. actually i think he may have said he did some in the past, but he's over that now.
and i know you haven't been in a stealing mood lately linda, but that's probably because i don't always choose the standard woo-woo ones. sometimes i choose the adorable ones, or the fun ones, or the nice ones. hey! dom is all three! :)
dom was pretty funny on that fake interview with elijah wood :)
