The Hobbit actor Graham McTavish to be guest at Heroes Dutch Comic Con – That’s Gaming

The Netherlands’ largest comic con announces its second special guest for its winter edition on Nov. 23 and 24, 2024. Actor Graham McTavish, best known as dwarf Dwalin in The Hobbit-trilogy, has been confirmed for the event at the Jaarbeurs Utrecht. Fans can have their picture taken with the actor, get an autograph and ask him a question. Earlier, voice actor Matthew Mercer was announced for the event.

Graham McTavish is a Scottish actor with many notable roles to his name. One can recognize him as dwarf Dwalin in the popular The Hobbit-trilogy, Dougal MacKenzie in the hit show Outlander and The Saint of Killers in Preachers. Most recently, the actor was seen as Ser Harrold Westerling in House of the Dragon, which received a Golden Globe for Best Drama.

In addition, he spoke the audiobook Clanlands in, which he wrote in collaboration with Outlander-colleague Sam Heughan. In the book, the duo goes on a road trip through Scotland. The two wrote a total of three books about their adventures in Scotland and New Zealand.
