Ian Holm, who plays Bilbo Baggins, was the voice of Frodo Baggins in the classic BBC Radio adaptation of Lord of The Rings in the 1970s.

Now, was that just a freakin' coinsidence or what?

Nope. [img]smile.gif[/img] His performance was considered one of the greatest successes of the radio series, and became, in a sense, "immortalized." It was natural to give him a quick screen test, and cast him in the role in the film.
