Hobbit Casting News of the Day: Peter Jackson has added one final cast member to his big-screen adaptation of The Hobbit. Scottish actor Billy Connolly will play Dain Ironfoot, dwarven warrior and second cousin of Thorin Oakenshield.
“We could not think of a more fitting actor to play Dain Ironfoot, the staunchest and toughest of Dwarves, than Billy Connolly, the Big Yin himself,” Jackson said. “With Billy stepping into this role, the cast of The Hobbit is now complete. We can’t wait to see him on the Battlefield!”
Dain, legendary for his prowess in combat, plays a crucial role in the Battle of the Five Armies, which will take place during Jackson’s second Hobbit movie, There And Back Again.
