Brilliant Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I *loved* Richard Armitage as Mr. Thornton. Guy of Gisbourne was a dirtier, meaner version of Thornton, so, still pretty good. And he was wonderful in Vicar of Dibley. But this just seems wrong: Richard Armitage - Dwarf king How can he possibly pull off Thorin in The Hobbit - short, stocky, bearded, etc. I am just having the hardest time even imagining it! It's raining here; I think I'll go watch North & South for the remainder of the day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 It's really hard for me to picture him as a dwarf, but I'm really happy he's getting a large role in a major movie! Hopefully this will lead to more movies for him. I'm also incredibly pleased to see Aidan Turner cast. I'm a huge fan of his portrayal of Mitchell, the vampire, on the BBC series Being Human.

BikeBookBread Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 (edited) Love Armitage, but he's a big guy. That's going to require a lot of digital work! David Tennant is up for a role; no hints as to whom. This film is just getting better and better! :) Edited October 25, 2010 by BikeBookBread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangearrow Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I do love the fact that he got a large part in such an enormous film - but I'm also having a lot of trouble visualizing him as a stocky, hairy dwarf. :confused: Now, if they'd cast him as an elf, maybe.... :svengo: But a dwarf?? Will be interesting to see. Even his voice (being the melodic, smooth thing that it is...) just seems wrong for a dwarf! lol SO excited that the movie is moving forward, though!!! Love, LOVE the actor they chose as Bilbo - he is PERFECT!!!!! I bet he already has the oversized, hairy hobbit feet built-in, he's so perfect for this role! :biggrinjester: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-FL Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Well remember that John Rhys-Davies is 6'1, taller than Viggo, Orlando or Ian McKellan, but he played the Dwarf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
