Mulch Diggums is a kleptomaniac dwarf and smelly schemer drawn into the adventure alongside Dame Judi Dench as an elf commander and Nonso Anozie as Artemis' trusty bodyguard, Butler. On set, Gad cracked jokes with ET and fellow reporters as he spoke about his experience on the Kenneth Branagh-directed film. Rather than a Potter-like character whose entire journey is about learning, Artemis entire journey is about coming into himself.
