Good job, Prof!
I just finished rereading The Hobbit, so he was fresh in my mind. His being a dick after Smaug’s death and refusing the Lake Men’s claim was why I called him a good guy most of the time.
When I answered the actor question, I was thinking of Richard Armitage from the Peter Jackson films. It wasn’t until long after I posted that I remembered I should have looked up who voiced him in the Rankin-Bass version. Hans Conreid, well known to me as a voice actor and Dr. T, but probably not well known enought to change my answer.
I cannot believe EH didn’t get that one.
