September 7, 2010 - The Hobbit / Martin Freeman turns down Bilbo role
Scooped on Tuesday, September 7, 2010
Known to British audiences for his role as Tim in the original version of The Office, Martin Freeman has reportedly had to turn down the role of Bilbo Baggins in the Hobbit films. According to The Sun newspaper (and carried online by TheOneRing.net), Freeman had already committed to starring in a BBC series called Sherlock when the offer to play Bilbo came to him. "It was one of the most difficult decisions of his career," said the source to the paper. "It was agonising but he had no other choice."
