Career Acting īoyd started his career appearing in Taggart (1996), The Soldier's Leap (1998), and Urban Ghost Story (1998). After graduating from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, he went on to perform with St Andrews Repertory and the Traverse Theatre. He worked as a bookbinder for six years before pursuing an acting career. The Tale of Years was probably prepared at Great Smials, with help from Meriadoc Brandybuck.Boyd was born in Glasgow, Scotland, to William and Mary Boyd, who both died a year apart when Boyd was in his early teens. The works he collected were mainly concerned with the history of Númenor and the Exiles after its Downfall, and so were of little interest to the Hobbits of the Shire, but were of great significance to the larger world. During his Thainship, he remained in close contact with Gondor, and built a library of great historical importance at Great Smials. Peregrin inherited the title Thain of the Shire in the year IV 13 (1434 by the Shire-reckoning). Peregrin's Life After the War of the Ring As befitted the son of the Shire's Thain, though, he had a good general knowledge of that land and its people. At first, he seemed to be rather unsuited to a long journey - through the early part of their travels, we see him regularly calling for rests or meals. He was only twenty-eight years old when he set out with Frodo and Sam from Bag End on the first part of their great journey, which was considered very young for a Hobbit. Pippin, as Peregrin was universally known, was the youngest of Frodo's companions. Escaping into Fangorn Forest, he saw the destruction of Isengard and travelled with Gandalf to Minas Tirith, where he became a bondsman of Steward Denethor II. With Meriadoc Brandybuck, he was separated from the Company at Parth Galen, and taken captive by Orcs. Son of Paladin Took II of Great Smials, Peregrin later became Thain Peregrin I of the Shire he travelled with the Company of the Ring.
