If you've ever heard the word jovial, its a great word to describe that happy-go-lucky woodland fellow. Rowan Atkinson has comedic cunning, but he's just not jovial enough for the part. I don't believe that would work out.<P>It's hard to say who would make a good Bombadillio, but I'm sure there's someone somewhere. He's not the easiest character to play, though he does have a very blunt nature at heart. Not Rowan Atkinson, though.<p>[ 5:54 PM February 09, 2004: Message edited by: Kransha ]
