Angus McLaren wants to be in The Hobbit	Can't Post

To tell you the truth, this is almost non-news to me, as I have absolutely no clue to who the guy is. It does seem like he's relatively famous in Australia, so maybe someone can post their opinion.

Quote

McLaren has been trying to exert some influence in this area lately with the actor keen to snag a role in the upcoming Lord of the Rings prequel The Hobbit directed by Pan's Labyrinth mastermind Guillermo del Toro.

"If I could do anything I'd be a hobbit. I would be a foot of a hobbit. I don't care. I would just love to be on the set just to be a part of it," McLaren says.

"The Hobbit was one of the first books I ever read and I loved it.

"I can't imagine what (del Toro) is going to do with that book. I think it will just be an unbelievable production.

"I keep nagging my agent about it. Every time I ring up she says 'Please don't mention The Hobbit'. But that's what I'd like to do."

Here's to Del Toro becoming the Irvin Kershner of Middle Earth!

at first I thought you were talking about Angus Mcfadyen, the guy from "Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood". Who imo Iooks hobbitish, and would be good for Bilbo maybe. I don't know who this other Angus is.

... and was about to post it Smile

However, I have no idea who this hobbit, ahem, guy, is!! Tongue

Crows and Gibbets! What is The House Of Eorl but a thatched barn where brigands drink in the reek, and their brats roll around on the floor with their dogs! You are but a lesser son of greater Sires.
