Yeah, Irons was magnificent as Scar--as suave as George Sanders' Shere Khan in
the Jungle Book. But someone will have to make Smaug be, well, authentically Smaug.
John Hurt's already done a dragon, but I haven't heard how he did in
Merlin. He's also, um, played a rabbit and a wizard.

Ah, this raises an interesting question, above and beyond the actor's identity. Just which kind of English accent would be appropriate for Smaug? EDIT: This would effectively exclude Pee-Wee Herman.
