Two more cast members have been announced for The Hobbit, which will begin shooting in February (see “The Hobbit to Shoot in New Zealand”). James Nesbitt has been cast as Bofur, “a disarmingly forthright, funny and occasionally brave Dwarf,” according to Variety. Adam Brown has been cast as another of the “Dwarf Company” in the films.
Other cast members have previously been announced (see “Hobbit Casting”), including Martin Freeman as Bilbo.
