This web site is dedicated to my favorite The Office (BBC) cast member, Martin Freeman.
It has been announced that the talented actor will portray Bilbo Baggins in the movie version of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. The movie is the prequel to the Lord of the Rings trilogy. The filming for Part 1 is set to begin in March 2011. The release date for Part 1 is December 2012 and the Part 2 release date is December 2013.
Martin Freeman caught my attention from the get-go when I saw him on the BBC version of The Office in 2001.
I thought who is this talented actor? Martin Freeman was someone completely new.
He was perfect for the role of Tim Canterbury. Tim was cute, witty and a bit of a prankster. Because of those combinations, Tim became my favorite Wernham Hogg employee.
Martin brought realness to Tim's character. His facial expressions were amazing.
I’m sure a lot of people out there wanted to see Martin Freeman again.
Fortunately, we are doing just that.
With the success of The Office, Freeman was cast in various movies. They include Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, Love Actually, Confetti, The Good Night, Nightwatching, and Nativity!.
His recent role as Dr. Watson, Sherlock's associate in PBS' Masterpiece Mystery! Sherlock, has had excellent reviews. Season 3 and 4 will be coming.
It goes without saying that Martin Freeman will be a very busy man. I wish him all the best and look forward to his new role as Bilbo Baggins. He will make a very convincing hobbit!
Congratulations Martin!

LMR note regarding the interview below:
I love Martin's comments in regards to him receiving more female attention as of late. I'm sure Martin will continue to capture the attention of females in the future! He surely had my attention from the get-go! He makes you want to pinch his cheek or cheeks! LOL
