Biography
Pippin was the only hobbit who had not yet reached his 'coming of age' when the Fellowship set out (being eight years younger than Merry, while Frodo himself was 50 years of age) and was therefore still in his 'tweens'. He was a worthy accomplice to Merry's plans, but showed his age as well; he was still a cheerful, if occasionally thoughtless Hobbit, and was first to miss the comforts of Hobbit life. At Rivendell, Pippin was nearly denied the chance to accompany Frodo by Elrond, who seriously considered using the youngest Hobbit as a messenger to the Shire. Rivendell ( Sindarin: Imladris) is an Elven outpost in Middle-earth, a Fictional realm created by J Character overview Elrond was Lord of Rivendell, one of the mighty rulers of old that remained in Middle-earth in its Third Age.

In Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, Pippin is played by Billy Boyd, who is from Scotland.

The filmmakers originally planned for Boyd to adopt an English accent for the role, in keeping with the other hobbits; however, Jackson found that Boyd's comic timing was not as keen when he was not using his native accent.
Therefore, it was decided to allow Boyd to play the role with a Scottish accent; the decision was justified by the observation that the Took-land in which the Took clan lived was a very hilly region of the Shire and was therefore vaguely similar to Scotland (indeed, when Saruman's ruffians take over the Shire the terrain of the Took-land proves so rough and inaccessible that the Tooks are effectively able to beat the ruffians back while the surrounding counties are overtaken), as well as the observation that the Tooks invented the game of golf, just like the Scots. [1] Tolkien's own pronunciation of "Took" was more similar to "Tuck," which is exactly as it is pronounced in the Scottish Brogue. A brogue is a strong Dialectal accent, notably in Irish dialects of the English language.
In the film trilogy, the character of Pippin, the youngest of the four hobbit friends, is played by the oldest of the four actors, Billy Boyd. Surprisingly, Frodo, played by Elijah Wood, is the oldest of the hobbits in the book, but Wood is the youngest of the four actors. Elijah Jordan Wood (born January 28 1981) is an American Actor.
