Re: The Hobbit
There are never many American actors in "Middle Earth" movies. If Jackson was going to cast an American for a role, I can't imagine he'd actually pick Seth Green.

Re: The Hobbit
Some of the main roles in LOTR were played by American actors:
Elijah Wood
Sean Astin
Viggo Mortensen
Liv Tyler
Brad Dourif
However...
I know, right? I mean even if the guy in the picture looked kinda like Seth Green (which... he doesn't. At all.), I can't imagine how one could believe that Green would be hired to play a dwarf in The Hobbit.

Re: The Hobbit
I keep thinking of a passage from Garrison Keilor's Lake Wobegon Days where's he describing his grade school days, and he comments on the lunch lady brandishing her ladle like a club, like she was going to brain you for complaining about the food.

Re: The Hobbit
One of my concerns for this film was telling all the dwarves apart onscreen, but I think they've got enough differences that it should be fine.

Re: The Hobbit
It's mostly dwarves, one Hobbit, one Istari (wizard), some Elves, three trolls, and a dragon. There are only a two men that I can recall having significant roles in the book, though one has supernatural powers, so I'm not sure if he fully qualifies as being a "man."

Re: The Hobbit
Unless I'm mistaken, the only characters that were in both books were Gandalf, Bilbo and to some extent Sauron. It's been so long since I read the Hobbit that I can't quite remember. I'm not sure if Elrond, Galadriel and the other elves are in both.
