I am sorry but I just don't think (even though I love him) that Ian Holm should be Bilbo. Not that I think he wouldn't do a wonderful job, but it is just at this time I think he is a little too old for the charater. I kinda think they should find an unknown to play Bilbo. But I don't know, it is kind of a hard charater to cast.<P>We all know that Ian McKellen must play Gandalf, because of course he is Gandalf! There could be no other Gandalf, and of course for that role it really doesn't matter how old you are.
