“And the leader of our company, Thorin Oakenshield”

Already people are giving me weird looks about how excited I am that Richard Armitage is playing Thorin.  Possibly because he’s so tall, & playing a dwarf.  But whatever.

It’s just because they have yet to discover his mad acting skills.  But by January, THEY WILL ALL UNDERSTAND.

And they’ll be all, “So what else has this guy been in, anyway?” And I’ll be able to produce a list. From memory.
