Mark Atkin doubles as Thorin Oakenshield	Can't Post

Detective Mark Atkin didn't expect to be acting in The Hobbit when he moved to New Zealand from the UK. Tall Paul Randall isn't the only policeman who's been recruited to play a double to the stars.

You can see Mark briefly in Production Diary #7 at 12:23.

And this is his IMBd page: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm5350603/

Earlier article and thread on Paul Randall:
