<sigh> I was working on a nice, long post with links to each actor's IMDB page, and I was going to put in images as well. Then one of the sites started acting funky, so I had to close everything in a hurry. :( I lost it all. I'll try again later when I have time.

Thanks, Elen! I've added him. I came across that picture in my search but wasn't 100% sure it was the right guy. One more to go!

This is great! Thanks, Lali (and thanks, Elen, for finding one of the missing guys!).

No sweat - glad to help!

However, finding Callen is seemingly an impossible task at the moment, though no doubt his mug shot is in great demand right now and I'm sure it will be available soon...

He is apparently more active as a stage director and voice artist.

Excuse me, I put his picture up. Surely that counts for something? Right? :rage:

Yeah...having cast these hot young actors in those roles, it's hard to imagine how they are going to keep the sex-appeal without radically altering Tolkien's vision of dwarves...

Agreed. But I have been drooling over him since Robin Hood.

Same here. I'll get in line, but find it hard to imagine drooling over a dwarf of Middle-earth.
Take my hand, my friend. We are here to walk one another home.

I'm really curious to see how they handle that. :scratch:

How to keep the hordes of drooling woman from protesting the fact that the yummy men are covered in makeup and such.

Am first in line, though, thank you very much. I commented first.

Elves will mock Thorin by shaving off that horid beard of his, thus revealing the manly jawline.

I had staked my place in the Armitage line last week. :D The only way they can make me happier is if they cast Fehr, which is improbable, since he is neither a Kiwi nor a Scott.
If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.
