Ha. Thorin should be so lucky. This indeed true though, mainly in that he has been chosen to be the heart throb of the films and thus no grey hair, and very little prosthetics. If ever I was to give credence to GDT version of the Hobbit it would be for his casting decision of Thorin. Anyway, a lot of non-book reader, nonTolkien geeks have found the lack of prosthetics for a certain two dwarves 'cringeworthy'. "What's up with that?" they asked me. "Apparently the filmmakers or studios decided you (the average movie goer) wouldn't like/identify with Thorin if he was too old, grizzled and dwarvish, so they kept him more human." To which they replied "They're wrong." Now that I think about it, I'd say Thorin's lack of prosthetics is cringeworthy because when I see him he just looks like Richard Armitage with a nose piece.
Davy Jones could've been Bilbo...I mean he was a Brit with a sense for adventure, singing & dancing. And think of the costs it would've save with forced perspective: he was ACTUALLY 5'3. He also hung out with a grumpy tall dude in a hat (Mike Nesmith.) While we're at it let's just have Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork as Merry & Pippin.
