Alternative Cast For Hobbits - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I think PJ could have considered better the casts for the hobbits. Danny DeVito could have made an excellent Frodo. Weeman probably could have portrayed Pippin quite well. Maybe even Weeman or MiniMe could have appeared?

Danny Devito?! No offense, but are you nuts, or is this supposed to be funny? Wait, I forgot which Forum I was in for a second.

But Danny Devito ?

What about Swartzenagger as Frodo?

I think Swartzenagger would fit in nicely as a big, buff Sam

.

How about Frankie Munoz for Frodo?

Leondardo DeCaprio for Pippin?

And of course Michael J. Fox for Merry!

Hugh Jackman as Frodo

Bill Engval-Merry

Jeff Foxworthy-Pippin

You're not the only one who thinks Danny got snubbed.

I put forth the following suggestions in the "Cast the First Hobbit" thread:

Quote:

Bilbo: Vern Troyer
Gandalf: John Cleese
Oakenshield: Tim Curry (equipped with the accent he had in Congo)
Thranduil: Gene Hackman

The only reply I got was this:

Quote:

I'm sorry. I just don't see Vern Troyer as Bilbo. Though he is short, he simply doesn't personify the character for me. Oh well, to each his own.

Obvious, dripping sarcasm is all washed up, apparently.
