Billy Connolly For The Hobbit
Billy Connolly will be the last casting on Peter Jackson’s two Hobbit films.
Scottish Billy will play Dain Ironfoot, a Dwarf warrior for The Hobbit although whether he will appear in both, The Hobbit : An Unexpected Journey and The Hobbit : There and Back Again is not known yet.
An Unexpected Journey comes to cinemas this December so that will all probably be a bit short notice plus the character is a small one and in the books, the second cousin of Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage), the Dwarf who recruits Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) to help reclaim his family’s ancient treasure from the winged worm Smaug (Benedict Cumberbatch).
Ironfoot certainly however takes part in the final Battle of Five Armies at the end of The Hobbit.
