THORIN ARE YOU CHECKING OUT HIS PACKAGE

SAY YES

MORE IMPORTANTLY THORIN ARE YOU STANDING ON A BOX?

DID LEGOLAS GROW UP LEARNING THE OFFERINGS BOXES TO DWARVES WAS POLITE?

good thing peter jackson had the foresight to hire actual elves for the immortal roles in the middle earth films or coming back to make the hobbit movies could’ve been problematic

theatricallymanaged: kallielefdrawward: Also, this is one of the best interviews I’ve read with Richard Armitage for The Hobbit. There was another series that I was involved in called “Strike Back”, which unfortunately I had to walk away from. The prospect of sitting in a cinema watching another actor play Thorin when I’d been offered the role - I mean sometimes that happens, sometimes you do have to walk away from roles or you can’t make it work with dates - I couldn’t have lived with myself seeing someone else play him. I would rather have given up my career for that. And actually I said to Pete when I got down there, “if this is that last piece of work I ever do, I’ll be a happy man and a happy actor.” I still feel that. If I never work again, I’ve had the most fulfilling experience an actor can have with this role.  I just really love it when actors verbalize how strongly they feel about certain characters.  It’s so easy, I think, for us to just assume “Oh, she/he took that role for the money/fame/whatever” when an actor takes on a character but doesn’t speak about it.  So when an actor talks about feeling passionate about a role, that to me is even more intimate and telling than seeing the role performed.

Fun fact, they built Beorn’s house right there on the other side of that gate.  (Paradise, NZ 2012)

For those who have never heard J.R.R. Tolkien sing, voilà!

“That’s what Bilbo Baggins hates!” sung by the legend himself.
