THORIN OAKENSHIELD
RICHARD ARMITAGE
The charismatic and brave leader of the Dwarf company which takes Bilbo into the adventure is Thorin Oakenshield played by magnetic Richard Armitage, whom the Brits know as a television star from shows such as ROBIN HOOD and SPOOKS. Seeking to return the Dwarves' mountain and their treasure from evil dragon Smaug, Thorin will take his dwarvish warriors onto the adventure which will put them in fights with goblins, Elves, and all kinds of different creatures. In the books, he is quite arrogant and ungrateful and refuses to give Elven king Thranduil and Bard their share of the treasure taken from Smaug and even fortifies the Lonely Mountain against them. But later on he had to join their forces in the famous Battle of five Armies in which he will be mortally wounded!
