It does raise the question of why the company would take Bifur at all? /

A motley crew is better than no crew, I suppose.
Plus, I imagine they'll make him a fierce fighter when he finds out what's going on...

Much is explained. Severing the corpus callosum is actually a common last-ditch treatment for severe epilepsy. Clearly Bifur found himself on the receiving end of that procedure, courtesy of Gimli M.D.

In all seriousness, I think a mohawk could be really cool-looking, as well as intimidating or downright terrifying, as long as they don't go overboard with scary tattoos or try to get too over the top awesome with it.
"The Naugrim were ever, as they still remain, short and squat in stature; they were deep-breasted, strong in the arm, and stout in the leg, and their snouts were long. Indeed this strangeness they have that no Man nor Elf has ever seen a snoutless Dwarf - unless he were rhinoplasted in mockery, and would then be more like to die of shame than of many other hurts that to us would seem more deadly. For the Naugrim have snouts from the beginning of their lives, male and female alike..." (History of Middle Earth, volume 11, The War of the Truffles, p. 205)

Legolas the nurse, of Mirkwood Hospital.
Gimli M.D.: Stitches? Ha! We have a much more efficient solution. Legolas, my laddie, we need your bow!
Legolas: *aims arrow at the patient's incision area*
Patient: *drowsily* Noooooo...ooooo....ooooo...

He was one, wasn't he? I was listening to the audio of The Hobbit in the car today and noticed that Bifur and Bombur were singled out as having put up a fierce fight before the trolls caught them.

Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..."
Dwarves: "Pretty rings..."
Men: "Pretty rings..."
Sauron: "Mine's better."
"Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded b*****d with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.

My Top 5 Wish List for "The Hobbit"
5. Legolas will surf down Smaug's neck
4. Bilbo will be revealed to a Robot
3. Naked PJ cameo as Ghan-Buri-Ghan
2. Use of not only 3D, but smell-o-vision, plus the inclusion of axes coming out of the seats and poking the audience when appropriate
1. Not only keep the claim that Thorin & Co. ran amok in Mirkwood "molesting people", but depict said incident in vivid detail!!!!!

He had felt the fear of a mighty Maia Spirit from before the forming of The World, the very demon who had driven the dwarves from Khazad-Dum in the first place, slaying their great kings and routing their armies.
I don't know if there will be a visual nod to The Balrog or not, but I feel if the history of The Dwarves is going to be explored at all, then He must be given some acknowledgement, for he was the chief instrument of their initial and greatest misfortune. The Balrog singlehandedly exiled The Dwarves from the most ancient and mighty homeland they knew. He did from within what Sauron could not manage from without, and in doing so allowed it to devolve into the haven of orcs and trolls that it later became. Following Sauron's hatred for Durin's heirs, as related to the ring they bore but were not subjectated by, The Balrog is the first and worst of the great misfortunes of Durin's house, and also the longest reigning, driving them from their nation and denying them any hope of return for a thousand years. I left it kinda implicit in my piece as I felt I'd already rabbitted on long enough, but when I referred to Dain's wisdom, the scene between Thrain and Dain was key in my mind.
It would take not just a lot of guts, but a lot of smarts, to reject one's liegelord in such a situation.
Reading the passage in the appendices, and I think it's the only speaking piece he has ANYWHERE, it's clear that he's a thinker as well as a fighter.
"Hear me, hounds of Sauron, Gandalf is here! Fly if you value your foul skins, I will shrivel you from tail to snout if you step within this circle!"
"Do not be to eager to deal out death in judgement. Even the very wise cannot see all ends."

Patient: Wait, who are you? Where's my regular surgeon?
Gimli M.D.: Give me your name, and I shall give you mine.
Patient: I'm not so sure about thi...
Gimli M.D.: You might as well accept it.
Patient: No, seriously, I...
Gimli M.D.: Bring your pretty face to my axe!

Gimli M.D.: Legolas, two already!
Legolas R.N.: I'm on 17!
Gimil M.D. [to himself]: Let's hope they last the night.

Well...he already ha a similar look to him....the question of the voice and way of speaking...though i wonder if they chose another vocality, because peter hamblton 's voice is quite different....at least from interviews and vblogs...
He might have a similar fighting style...
