His mother, Mary Margaretta Phyllis Jones, was a nurse, and his father, Rhys Davies, was a mechanical engineer and Colonial Officer. In the early 1950s his family lived for several years in Kongwa, Dar es Salaam, Moshi and Mwanza Tanzania, while his father was serving there as a colonial Police officer. He was educated at Truro School and at the University of East Anglia where he was one of the first 87 students admitted, and where he founded the Dramatic Society. After teaching at Watton County Secondary School in Norfolk he won a place at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.
John Rhys-Davies chats about making Lord of The Rings trilogy and whether he still hangs out with Orlando Bloom, how he filmed scenes as dwarf Gimli, meeting his wife in New Zealand, and why J.R.R. Tolkien books are unfilmable which makes Peter Jackson's achievement in creating the Lord of The Rings movies one of greatest achievements of modern cinema history.

British actor John Rhys-Davies (alias Gimli the dwarf in Lord of the Rings movies) talks about The Hobbit and Peter Jackson at the Armageddon Expo in Wellington, New Zealand. This video was filmed and produced by Treetop Media Ltd. www.treetopmedia.co.nz
Actor John Rhys-Davies declared “we have lost our moral compass completely” in the West due to political correctness and fear to cast judgment on Islamic extremism. “There is an extraordinary silence in the West,” Mr. Rhys-Davies, who played the dwarf Gimli in the three “Lord of the Rings” movies, said during Adam Carolla’s podcast Monday night. “Basically, Christianity in the Middle East and in Africa is being wiped out — I mean not just ideologically but physically, and people are being enslaved and killed because they are Christians. And your country and my country are doing nothing about it,” he said.
