The Hobbit : Dream Cast

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I have given a lot of thought to this ever since I saw the Lord of the Rings Films, having recently read The Hobbit... My first thought was of the Dwarves. A few of them were amusing and a few of them were serous considerations of who could play the rolls...

Thorin: Brian Blessed (Come on! You know he'd be perfect!)

Some other dwarves could be played by...
Dwalin: Tony Robinson (Played like Baldric from Blackadder, obviously)
Balin: Bill Baily (The musical scenes would be so much funnier)
Bombur: Collin Baker (Because he's FAT)
Bifur: Tom Baker (Because he is ACE)
Dori: David Mitchell (Why not?)
Kili: Julian Barrat (One part of the double act)
Fili: Noel Fielding (the other part of the double act from The Mighty Boosh)

Dáin Ironfoot: Billy Connolly (with a banjo)

Beorn: Oliver Reed (after seeing him in Baron Munchausen, I thought he'd be good for the roll)

Bard the Bowman: Christopher Eccleston (Because he SHOULD be northern)

Smaug: Vic Reeves (Of course)

Thranduil: Rowan Atkinson (No idea why, the concept just amuses me)

Drunken Elf: Dylan Moran (Obvious, really)

Not entirely plausible. But it would be a darn fine film!
