The radio part just proves it really. Even Ian Holm's voice gets typecast as a short person (he first made his name over here playing the lead in the original version of "The Borrowers" which I think was later a film with John Goodman, basically in the Borrowers he played someone 6" high).<hr></blockquote>

Also that the man who wrote the screenplay for the film Lord of the Rings, Brian Sibley, was also the man who adapted the book for the radio play. Perhaps he suggested Ian for Bilbo?
