The actor, 49, was cast as the dwarf Bofur in Peter Jackson’s movie trilogy, with the final film out in December.
Nesbitt said that the experience of working on the three movies was “incredible”, even if his role was small.
“There will only ever be 13 dwarves in The Hobbit – and I was one of them,” the Cold Feet actor told Radio Times magazine.
“If I had my time again, would I do it? Yeah, I would.”
But he added: “At times it was frustrating. Just in terms of the acting, in terms of what you were given the opportunity to do.”
He told the magazine: “I thought I was gonna be (in it more). But that was one of the difficulties – there wasn’t a script per se before we agreed to it. But then there are an awful lot of people to keep happy.”
The Monroe star said of the third, forthcoming film: “I think there’s a lot more for everyone to do. And my kids are in it – they play Bard the Bowman’s daughters. They’ve got nice parts.”
