Bard the Grim is\u00a0 a skilled archer, and the heir of King Girion of Dale. The king was killed by the talking dragon Smaug. The character plays a greater role in the second film, and is somewhat reminiscent of the action-hero exploits of Viggo Mortensen&#8217;s Aragorn, I&#8217;m told.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What do you think of the choice? Does he have the &#8216;Bard&#8217; look? Sound off! For the complete article, including a summary of his past work, jump on over to Deadline.com!
