Kalimac has just left Hobbiton.
1420!

I've seen a lot of them but those movies have already been listed, so to avoid repeats:<P>JOHN RHYS-DAVIES: MACRO in "I, Claudius" which is by far the best miniseries ever made, though it faces stiff competition from "Pride and Prejudice." It's impossible to recognize him since he's 25 years younger, clean-shaven, wearing a Roman centurion's uniform, and conspiring with the evil Caligula to butcher everybody in sight. Like Gimli, he has a fairly direct approach to things ("What are we waiting for? Let's destroy it!") but unlike Gimli he's doing it for pure personal gain and ends up being executed in the end, along with most of his compatriots.<P>ANDY SERKIS: MR. D'AUBAN the dancing master in "Topsy-Turvy." If you want to see Gollum as a perpetually boozed-up Cockney dancing-master trying to teach Japanese fan dances to the original cast of "The Mikado" this is definitely your movie. The thing is I saw this movie before LOTR came out, so knowing that it was Serkis voicing Gollum made it a little weird.
