Kiwi actor William Kircher explains how being buried in dead fish, and being pushed down a river in a barrel in full costume has changed his life. This all happened when Bill was a dwarf in The Hobbit, a highlight of his 40 year acting career.  Now he’s now off to work with Theatre 68 in LA. He talks to Zoe George about doors opening and closing, treasuring what you’ve got when you’ve got it and how conventions changed his path.
