if you don`t see if other actors can do better job but automatically assign your "family member", than it is favorism. And, no, I don`t think Perlman is a good choice for any major Hobbit character nor is Doug Jones. So, yes, I would like GDT to audition other actors and than decide whether his friend/family is more fitting. Just an illustration. James Cameron and Lance Henricksen are friends since Pirrahna 2. So when Cameron wrote Terminator, he had Lance in mind for the Terminator role. He wanted someone who cna easily bland in. However, the studio urged him to see Arnie who got hold of the script and wanted the role to break the hero stereotype. Arnie had become a big name so Cameron had no choice. He dreaded the meeting because Arnie was everything that Terminator in the script wasn`t - a big dude that stands out. But once he met with the actor, Cameron realized that his concept was all wrong and that Arnie was the man. The rest is history. Henricksen landed the part of the police officer, instead. My point is that Cameron knew when friendship should not stand in the way of the art. I`m not arguing that Perlman isn`t Hellboy because he is. I`m just arguing that he isn`t Beorn or Bard or any othe rmajor characterand that Jones isn`t Tranduil or Bard or any other major character, and that the right actors should be cast in those roles.
