With Great Power, Etc.

Congratulations, Tobey Maguire, on landing the role of Bilbo in Guillermo del Toro's upcoming Tolekintastic version of The Hobbit.

It would be interesting to see how a method actor prepares to play the world's most well-known hobbit. Would they walk around on their knees to acclimate themselves to Bilbo's point of view? Would they glue cotton balls to their feet to replicate Bilbo's hairy extremities? And would they smoke a lot of weed, as Bilbo was wont to do? These are the kind of questions that need answering.
