Lord of the Rings 'Hobbit Holes"
I guess you had to see the movie “Lord of the Rings” to really appreciate the holes in the ground, and since i did not see any of the 3 Lord of the Rings Films, they were just holes in a hillside to me.

TVI's Alan S Nusbaum and Hollywood Casting Director
This past week in Auckland, Los Angeles Casting Director Nick Anderson who teaches a sitcom technique class at TVI Actors Studio in Los Angeles dragged me out to Matamata, New Zealand, a 2 hour drive form Auckland to see the “Lord of the Rings” movie set.
Located on a private sheep farm in Matamata, NZ the “Shire” scenes were shot here. A rainstorm stopped the “tearing down of the set,” and the owner of the farm worked out a deal with Hollywood to keep it. 17 of the “Hobbit holes” are intact, and are viewed on the tour, as well as the “party tree” and lake, with photo boards. This is private property and a working sheep farm, so you cannot enter without taking the tour.
The weather was 37?F, wet and windy. What I won’t do for TVI’s acting schools teachers.

Los Angeles Casting Director jumps off building
While in Auckland with me (Alan Nusbaum) for the sitcom acting class TVI Actors Studio presented at UNITEC, the acting teacher and LA casting associate Nick Anderson had some free time.
So what does Nick do! Leap off Auckland’s famous Sky Tower – 630 feet straight down!
SkyJump is one of New Zealand’s most thrilling tourist attractions and one of Auckland City’s ‘don’t miss!” experiences.
SkyJump can be described as Base Jumping while attached to a wire – just like a movie stuntman. Nick fell very fast! (approximately 50 mph) for around 11 seconds, and then come to a very smooth landing in the plaza below.
