Have to say that I loved Ian Holm as Bilbo in the LOTR films except in one scene - that one being where he is younger and finds the ring. He looked badly out of place and character. He simply is now too old to play a much younger, much more active Bilbo in THE HOBBIT a few years down the road. And he has had health problems as well.
CGI Bilbo with Holm as the voice? I do not like that idea either. Actors and actresses give films a reality that CGI can never touch. Its great for fantasy characters like a Gollum or Fell Beast or Cave Trolls. Those characters were wonderful especially Gollum with Serkis behind him. However, I would go for the actual flesh and blood every time possible since they can convery emotion and a sense of actual human reality that CGI still falls short with.
Find a younger actor for Bilbo.
