You should listen to the BBC radio adaptation where he is truly outstanding in a strong cast, as Frodo. It is a shame people think of Bilbo first when, for me at least, his performance as Frodo is definitive. This will give an example - not one I would have picked first but it is a challenge to an actor to play someone who isn’t a trained performer
