I'm reading The Hobbit to my son at the moment and when I read out Smaug's dialogue I had Laurance Fishburns voice pop into my head...ello there old adversary es Laurence Fishburne could certainly do the voice of Smaug the Dragon. The character is imposing and frightening, it should be voiced by one who has a certain authority and deepness to their voice. Clearly this would require the casting of a mature older man, 50 years of age or older. Sam Elliott may be suitable? I've n More

I like the suggestion of Guy Pearce, a serious actor and one who would delve deepply into his character. I would also like Michael Sheen to be in the two films. Either of the names I mentioned could play a dwarf or Bard the bowman? Philip Madoc as Gloin? In regards to the voice of Smaug, Christopher Lee could certainly do it but then he's already voiced Saruman and as others have said, his voice is too "familiar". Perhaps James Earl Jones could do it? Admittedly he is very More

| RE: Beorn |
I'm sure I read somewhere that there were rumblings of Pearlman being cast in a role. If this is true, I would assume that character would be Beorn.
It could have just as easily been a blog that was expressing hope for him being cast.

They really should get Leonard Nimoy on board, he could just follow whoever is playing Bilbo around. He doesnt have to talk (although his great voice might add something to the film), all he has to sing this over and over and over again.....

Well I meant would you want to if you were 87.
I agree, I'd love to se him in it, as Sarumna, but not as Smaug.
greed. His voice is to familiar. Unless they blend and mix. But I dont want to hear Smaug and think Saruman and Count Dooku.
To Bildo, hey have a fella playing young Bilbo in the FOTR flashbacks?ote]

No, you're right, it isn't because he can't be bothered, and a correction: he's 87, he doesn't want to fly back and forth to the other side of the world as his age. Would you?
rankly, yes. It would mean that I could. 87, though. That's quite an age. I thought he was 78.
I'd heard that they were thinking of greenscreening him in London, presumably as Saruman. It would be nice to have something filmed here. Other than PJ's hand pointing at the map, that is. More

It's already been reported that Christopher Lee will be voicing Smaug as he won't be reprising his role as Saruman as he can't be bothered to go to NZ for several months.
aaah! Seriously? That's such an unimaginative choice. Im sure it's not 'cause he can't be bothered. He is nearly 80. They probably won't let him on the plane! More

I have a feeling that James McAvoy will be Bilbo. Ewan McGregor would be a good choice too.
Winstone would be great as Thorin and Timothy Spall could play one of the dwarwes too.

Now for the annoiuncement for the 'big 3' - Bilbo, Smaug and Thorin??????
Who who who?
My votes go to Martin Freeman, Morgan Freeman and Ray Winstone
organ Freeman for Smaug!?! Yes, the man gives good voiceover, but he's a bit of a Connery when it comes to accents... and I don't think Smaug is American.
I think they should get 2 or 3 actors More
