NEW YORK, N.Y. - Starring in “The Hobbit” trilogy has been a unique experience for British actor Martin Freeman, whose image – as Bilbo Baggins – is in toy shops and stores across the globe.
“The Lego is a good part. I do like the Lego figure,” Martin told Access Hollywood in New York City on Friday at “The Hobbit” junket, referring to his favorite toy so far. “As a dad… all this – the kind of toys-y bits — are fun and also, when I’m old and gray, it’ll be nice to look back on, particularly this, ‘cause I’ve had covers on things before, but not to this extent for one film. So, just the bulk of this stuff, I’ll probably look at and think, ‘I was an actor once.’”
Director Peter Jackson has said Martin (a star of the original British version of “The Office”) was his only choice to play the famed character from J.R.R. Tolkien’s novel.
“I understand that as well, which is strange,” Martin said, when asked about Peter wanting him – and only him – for the part."
