Well… that’s an understatement. The actors playing hobbits had to arrive at set for around 4:30 AM to start getting ready.

They also had to have prosthetic ears set over their own – as did any of the cast playing elves, such as Orlando.

Never mind all the facial prosthetic that John Rhys-Davies had to endure as Gimli. Apparently he consistently had allergic reactions to the ingredients in the prosthetic attached to his face – ugh!
