About John Callen: John Callen is an English-born New Zealand character actor, voiceover artist and director. He is best known for portraying Óin, son of Glóin in the 2012-2014 The Hobbit film trilogy.
As actors, we have a philosophy, which is this: great fun. That has transmitted itself into the dwarf philosophy of life. We're up for a brawl, we're up for a bloody good feed, and if you've got food, well, we share what we've got, and so should you.
I'm in love with the entire industry and every aspect of performing and directing, even writing, and I love working with acting students.
