I was trying to figure out who Martin Freeman was...then I looked him up on Wikipedia. He did a great job in his portrayal of Dr. Watson in those new Sherlock Holmes series. I think that’s the only thing I’ve seen him in.

I thought he did a great job as Doctor Watson as well. I’m looking forward to the release of The Hobbit.

He did a good job as Arthur Dent in a very uneven film version of Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy. Should be equally good as the reluctant "professional thief" Gandalf insists the dwarves need for their excursion to relieve Smaug, the dragon, of his hoarded gold. Of course, he does "by accident" pick up a handy little ring in Gollum's cave along the way. Tolkien wrote the book to be read aloud to his own children so it's very different in tone from the later LOTR. Much more whimsical.
