Here's my suggestion for Smaug and it's waaaaaay out of left field: Paul Darrow. He played "Avon" in Blake's Seven. He is still alive - anyone who remembers Blake's Seven should recall his sneering, supercilious, "born to rule" voice. |

Hmmm... personally, I'd love to hear Tim Curry as Smaug. To quote Bêthberry's description from the Dragons thread:

Tolkien was born in 1892 to English parents in the independent (Boer) Orange Free State. Rathbone was born in 1892 to English parents in the independent (Boer) Transvaal Republic. Tolkien and Rathbone both removed to England at the age of three, in 1895. Tolkien and Rathbone both enlisted in 1916, both in Lancashire regiments (the Lancashire Fusiliers and the King's Liverpool Regiment, respectively). Otherwise, though- Rathbone never attended University. He enlisted as a private but rose to captain, serving at the front until war's end (and winning the MC). In 1934 Rathbone moved permanently to the USA, which Tolkien never visited.

Personally I would quite like Alan Rickman as Smaug.
He is a very fine, versatile actor both on stage & film; and has a very remarkable voice depending on the character he is playing.

Yeah, I could see that. The voice actor would have to put a little more brawn into the voice of Smaug than he did with his Lucien half-whisper, but it could work.

Now who exactly was Lucien again? It's been a while since I played...

Lucien Lachance. Dark Brotherhood quest-line. Comes to you while you're sleeping after your first murder. Is killed by the other assassins at the end of the quest-line. That guy.
