Nesbitt lands 'Hobbit' role

James Nesbitt has won a part in ‘The Hobbit’.

The former ‘Cold Feet’ actor was originally being lined up to play lead role Bilbo Baggins in Peter Jackson’s movie but after that part was given to Martin Freeman, Nesbitt has now signed up to portray Bofur, a dwarf who accompanies Bilbo on his quest.
