Another pair of actors have joined the cast of Peter Jackson‘s long-awaited adaptation of the J.R.R. Tolkien classic, The Hobbit.
It’s been announced that popular UK star James Nesbitt has been added to the cast, coming after his name had been rumored for a stretch. Nesbitt will play an important role in the dwarf named Bofur, who is described as being “disarmingly forthright, funny and occasionally brave.” Talking about the addition of Nesbitt, Jackson gushed “James’s charm, warmth and wit are legendary as is his range as an actor in both comedic and dramatic roles. We feel very lucky to be able to welcome him as one of our cast.” Nesbitt is best known for his roles in movies and TV series like Waking Ned Devine, Cold Feet, and Danny Boyle’s Millions.
Also added to the cast is newcomer Adam Brown, who will play another Dwarf named Ori, a member of the Company of Dwarves who sets off to fight the vicious dragon, Smaug, in hopes of reclaiming Lonely Mountain.
