We are also excited to be able to offer a stunt workshop with Jed to a

Jed Brophy has been a constant presence in the work of director Peter
Jackson from his lowly beginnings in Braindead ("Void") through
Heavenly Creatures ("John") to Lord of the Rings ("Black Rider",
"Sharku" and "Snaga") and on into the future with King Kong. You may
remember him as the orc (Sharku) that got Aragorn dropped over a cliff
in The Two Towers or the one that suggested eating Merry and Pippin
(Snaga). Jed's son played Aragorn and Arwen's child Eldarion.

Jed began his professional acting career playing the character of Dr.
Jack Galloway on soap Shortland Street and also played Ramius in Xena:
Warrior Princess. He is currently working on adapting a screenplay
based on a book and spending time with his two children and the Rohan
horse he purchased after riding it in The Return of the King.
