Actor Monaghan rules out major role in 'The Hobbit'

Dominic Monaghan will not appear in ‘The Hobbit’.

The actor – who has played hobbit character Merry in all three of the previous ‘Lord of the Rings’ movies – confesses he will not be involved in the problem-stricken prequel because his character would not be alive, although he would be up for a cameo role.
