Moviehole is reporting the New Zealand actor Roy Billing has been cast as the Chief Duffer (head of the Dufflepuds) in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. The actor speaks about the role, saying, “I hope on a plane on Monday. I’m playing Chief Dufflepud – a gnome-like creature who hops around on one leg. There’s a whole heap of [Dufflepuds]. It should take a week or so to film my scene.”
NarniaWeb member icarus found an entry on Lee Ravitz’s resume, stating that he was involved in green screen tests for the Dufflepuds in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. This leads us to believe that the Dufflepuds with either be entirely CG, or they’ll be motion captured much in the way that Gollum was motion captured for The Lord of the Rings. Lee Ravitz’s resume states:
Role: Dufflepud (Green Screen VFX Test Shots Only)
