    Never heard of this guy lol so no surprise hes the favourite :P actually you have just mentioned someone else: Richard Armitage. I never thought of him really but I think he would do a very good job. He was brilliant in the Robin Hood tv series and so far as Thorin Oakenshield has also portrayed that role superbly so as well as the others I mentioned I think Richard is another who I’d like to take on the role.

    There are a few I’d like to see in the role,I do agree that Richard Armitage would probably be a good choice.Either Benedict Cumberbatch or Martin Freeman would be on the list as well.
