From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
- Jackson usually appears in cameo roles in his own films. In the Lord of the Rings trilogy, he played the role of Albert Dreary, an entertainer from Bree (Fellowship of the Ring); a spear-throwing defender of Helm's Deep (The Two Towers); and a corsair (The Return of the King).
- In Jackson's film Braindead, the natives of Skull Island, home of film's Sumatran Rat-Monkey, were played by the rugby team of Fiji.
- Between The Return of the King and King Kong, Jackson lost a large amount of weight, to the point of being unrecognizable to some fans. He attributes his weight loss, according to Britain's Daily Telegraph to a diet change. He said, "I just got tired of being overweight and unfit, so I changed my diet from hamburgers to yogurt and muesli and it seems to work."
