Yes, he was. As much as I love Ian Holm as Bilbo, I can't help but wonder what Sly would have been like.Cool. Wasn't he in the running to play Bilbo in LOTR?
Seen as he seems to have said he's not doing Bilbo (I hope they don't get some young wippet like Tennant) and he says he's up for a fairly big role am I the only one thinking Thorin? After all we all know Dwarves are scottish
I think he would make a great evil wizard..
still can't believe he isn't playing the younger bilbo.. he would fit the part..
shoot, I am still amazed McKellan was the black guardian!
Really? You can't believe it? You can't believe that a 66 year-old comic/stage actor hasn't been picked to play the young lead in a multi-million dollar movie? You're in disbelief?still can't believe he isn't playing the younger bilbo.. he would fit the part..

Bilbo was about 50 years old in The Hobbit so it's not that much of a stretch.
"Sylvester McCoy, Hollywood poster boy" is a stretch whatever your rationale might be.Bilbo was about 50 years old in The Hobbit so it's not that much of a stretch.

Huh? Valentine Dyall played the Black Guardian.
I'm not seeing it.I could have sworn that was McKellan..they sound and look so similar!!
I looked at the title, and was trying to think how and why Sly Stallone would be up for the The Hobbit...
