Aidan Turner himself is a great choice. He was vampire Mitchell in Being Human. I tend to think that he was chosen not for his looks but because Being Human has a devoted cult following and his presence will reel in the SF geeks.

Kiligolas being Kiligolas has nothing to do with the actor himself or anything he may or may not have previously done. I don't think it’s the actor's fault.

It has everything to do with Kiligolas not looking anything like a dwarf (note the discussion above where people couldn't figure out whether he was a ranger or a cameraman who wandered into shot or whatever) and overall he just looks like a pretty boy Ranger...ergo Kiligolas. I would have called him "Kiligorn" but I thought that sounded weird.
