	Actors - Dominic Monaghan

Dominic Monaghan (born December 8, 1976 in Berlin, Germany) is an English actor who was thrust into stardom with the success of Peter Jackson's adaptation of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings
in which he played the character of Merry Brandybuck.

Born and raised in Berlin, Dominic and his family moved to Manchester, England when he was 12. In addition to speaking fluent German, he has a knack at impersonations and accents. Dominic was studying English Literature, Drama and Geography at a sixth form college when he snagged his first major role in the BBC television series, Hetty Wainthropp Investigates, in which he played the sidekick of Hetty (Patricia Routledge). Dominic now plays the character Charlie on the television show Lost.

It is rumoured that he lives in Hawaii together with Lost costar Evangeline Lilly; the two have never come forward and officially "announced" their relationship. On November 8, 2005 tabloid photos of the two were published in a variety of magazines and websites, featuring the two kissing intimately while taking a break from surfing.. On January 23, 2006, rumors began circulating that the two had become engaged, when a source was quoted in Britain's Sunday Mirror newspaper as saying that Monaghan had proposed to Lilly and: "They want to spend the rest of their lives together.".

He is also a keen environmentalist, and has been active in planting/preservation of trees and forests. He owns a small forest in India.

He has on his right arm a tattoo of the Elvish word for "9", a reference to his Lord of the Rings fame and the fact that his character was a member of the Fellowship. On his left arm is a tattoo saying "Living is easy with eyes closed", which is a line from John Lennon's "Strawberry Fields Forever"
