Audition for The Hobbit - Mike K Mahaffey as Bilbo Baggins

[Malocosa]

Ever thought of auditioning for lead singer of Air Supply? ;0)

[Denneex0xCov3rz1996]

Hope to see you in the theater soon Mike! :D

[danleclerc57]

You...are...Bilbo!

[Zabarilo]

Very well done, mate. The guy who does Gollum is as brilliant. This scene has great pace even though it is one take.

[ddrr43112]

This guy (Mike Mahaffey) should definitely be Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit!! I am so glad that there's at least a plan for the next Tolkien movie!!! :) Gooooo Hobbits!!!

And I hope all the actors (like Elijah Wood, Orlando Bloom etc. etc.) get to have parts too!!

And to you three who disliked this...can you think of anyone better for the role???

[Daveymulv]

Great Job!!

[attore25]

Mike for Bilbo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[francisofdeath]

Careful, Nero's behind you!

[asbestospoet]

\o/

[Mirabot]

This is fantastic, Mike! Go for it!

[TheAmandakruger]

Exactly how i pictured Bilbo when i read it

[fivalmouskawitz]

Perfect.

[tahirisunrider]

:D Looks awesome! Break a leg!

[youngwon08]

I'd love to see this guy get the part...I'd definitely come to see "The Hobbit" Starring Mike Mahaffey!!!

[MajorSamO]

Brilliant! This guy should FOR SURE get the part!!!!!

[spaseba1]

This is a great audition...this guy is a great choice. Hope he gets the part of Bilbo. Would be great.

[jonputah]

Great job Mike!!! Did you or did you not play this part in a Hanford High production oh so long ago?!? Regardless, you should get this part.... Good luck!

[tadanaramama]

Excellent job, Mike! Good luck!!!

[Antillie1234]

Doctor.

[Gabwag]

Great job Mike. I hope you get a shot!!!

[llhardie]

Mike Mahaffey does a great job as Bilbo.........looks good too! We hope to see him soon in the movie!

[maggie10643]

great!  great! great!

[johntovar]

That was great. He certainly can pass as a young Ian Holm. I'd see it if he was cast as Bilbo!

[Tarardable]

This actor is not only good, he "is Bilbo". He is a must for the part.

[devonyd]

This actor captures the essence of Bilbo Baggins quite well. His physical characteristics even resemble a younger version of the original Bilbo. Good Choice. I can't wait for the movie. I loved the Trilogy.

[bepresco]

I can see it for sure. Cannot wait for this movie! If they go with him, it's a hit!

[TheR2harris]

What a great Bilbo!! Can't wait to see him in the movie.

[ashtonavery1]

My inner-geek just went supper giddy. That really had the style of Tolkein's orginal story and character. Mike K Mahaffey realy went back to the source for this. And he makes an awesome Bilbo! A perfect fit, I love it!

[kbuckland05]

I'm quite impressed by this video. He does a really good job capturing a great character. Not to mention he even looks like the younger version of the original guy who played Bilbo in the "Lord Of the Rings". So is this the guy playing Bilbo in the upcoming movie?

[PGoy21]

This guy makes a great Bilbo! I'd really like to see more of his stuff!

[GravesboyP]

so is this the actual guy playing bilbo in the movie? that was pretty damn good!

[gregspyridis]

Nice. Best Bilbo I've seen on the net yet.  Can't wait for this movie.

[joantwong]

WOW! Excellent work! I can't wait to see more of this guy!

[JillianEaston]

so bilbo! love it!

[lilafrench]

This is just as I imagined Bilbo when reading the book! Great job.

[TheBannenWay]

Mike is solid in this! He was in Bannen and we'd cast him again for sure. Best of luck!

[ocab2]

Definitely has a younger ian holm look about him, he looks great! Obviously has great talent, I hope we can see more of him very soon.

[lyonsjg]

Agreed. Definite Ian Holm vibe. Great face. Great presence.

[cowardsbreathehate]

wow that was awesome, so much can be done with just facial reaction.

[mmshun]

OMG he is great in this....i want to see more of him

[i8athumbtack]

wow that's pretty sick! looks exactly like the guy who plays him in the new movies and good acting!

[AjaraeColeman]

This guy looks like Bilbo and is clearly a terrific actor. Awesome!

[dvanhoos]

Nice - I can really see him as Bilbo.

[jen797797]

Definitely a dead ringer for Bilbo Baggins! Glad to hear they are making a new live action movie of "The Hobbit". Can't wait to see it!

[jsufana1]

I like it. I think this guy does a good job making weird dialogue believable...

[shangrala2000]

Dam! Awsome and fresh performance. I want to see more of this guy. Hollywood needs some fresh faces with talent like this!

[shangrala2000]

Dam! Awsome and fresh performance. I want to see more of this guy. Hollywood needs some fresh faces with talent like this!

[TheShalaina]

Wait they are making THE HOBBIT?!?! This guy totally looks like Bilbo. Can't wait to see it!

[mrhaffer41]

Bilbo in the flesh!! Can't wait to see the movie.

[Brymckinley]

This guy would be amazing. Are they making a Hobbit Movie now? He would rock this part all over the place. This really brings the pages to life.

[spaseba1]

Terrific...what a match for Bilbo

[TheJDRipper]

Whoot! Love this guy...

[Xxhobbs]

This guy is great!!!
