Fun fact: Treebeard also played one of the dwarves. It took 36 hours of makeup every morning to achieve the effect.

I heard Treebeard didn't want to be airlifted to the scene and so walked the entire way to set each morning.

Not to mention that Treebeard was allergic to the latex prosthetics they used.
