Chief Dufflepud Cast

Roy Billing cast as the Chief Dufflepud

New Zealand actor, Roy Billings, has been cast in the role of the Chief Dufflepud.

“I hop on a plane on Monday”, Billing says. “I’m playing Chief Dufflepud – a gnome-like creature who hops around on one leg. There’s a whole heap of [Dufflepuds]. It should take a week or so to film my scene”.

Billing says the first thing he has to do when he arrives is get fitted for his prosthetics.

It is interesting to note that Billing is not a short person, whereas in the book prior to the Dufflepuds becoming Dufflepuds, they were described as a common little dwarf. Either the production has chosen to make the Dufflepuds larger, or there will be a lot of green screen involved in their creation.
