Should be in the Hobbit


He'd make a fantastic dwarf in the Hobbit. I rather like Brian Blessed for Thorin Oakenshield, how about having Cosmo as Balin, his right hand man?

reply

Nah, it's the other way around: Cosmo for Thorin, Blessed for Balin.

why did I never think of that?! He'd make a PERFECT dwarf! But I think he's more of a Thorin than a darf who'd stand on a fellow's right hand side. Although Balin seemed like a gem.

Having just seen the Hobbit, I couldn't help but think he should have been Thorin, Armitage is too young and lacked enough impact. Balin and Dwalin overshadowed him.
Cosmo should have been Thorin.
