OK, I'll give you Woody Allen, but... Brosnin?
Too much of the dandy to my way of thinking.

Henricksen certainly has the voice for Smaug... but I almost think the voice should convey some sense of nobility and I'm not 100% sure he could pull it off.

and Connery would? Fine what about and this is a stretch but I think the theatrics would make it so freakin' Sweet! Gene Wilder! I think that would be cool

see the thing, main thing, with connery is he's to well known you see or hear him you see or hear connery not the character he plays himself these actors make themselves the character

I don't want to watch Bilbo speaking riddles then say "oh yeah that's connery" he doesn't absorb me into movies if you see my meaning, there are a few who can't do that like Tim curry, but he does now anyway mostly comedies so I get past it. Dramas and actions I NEED to be absorbed. Know what I mean?

I think Gene Wilder is too much of a stretch. I'd expect him to break into "Puttin' on the Ritz"

(And I'll bet that just me saying that has got it running through your head right now... eh? Am I right???).

Orson Welles could have done it, but unfortunately, he's no longer vertical.

preferred Alice in wonderland got him singing the lobster dance song... as well as pure imagination, that part of Young Frankenstien Kind Of bugged me I block it out, much better in Blazing saddles.

If he were vertical, as you put it, Richard Boone, the original Smaug,

how about harland willians... for really no reason other than he's not Sean Connery

For that matter, Danny Devito isn't Sean Connery either.

(Yet somehow... I'm now imagining Devito as doing Smaug. This may bear consideration. Either that or I need to start cutting the meds in half...)

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Interesting. The Danny DeVito Taxi character (Louie) seemed
to have a Smaug mindset toward dominating his little world,
and even seemed to keep Elaine around as much as anything
for eye candy (like Smaug his gold and other treasures).
But I still like Rowan Atkinson's Black Adder, especially the series
with Hugh Laurie in Regency England.

Bilbo taunts Smaug, so Smaug says:
"Oh really! And after I dispose of you who will your dwarves
send next. Bilbo the Younger, Bilbo the baby, Bilbo the embryo,
Bilbo the gleam in his parents eyes?."
