Uhhh, Richard Armitage has been cast as Thorin in The Hobbit? Really!? A dwarf? Shouldn't he be like, the King of Mirkwood?

I agree, he looks nothing like a dwarf, dwarves need to be played by those who hail from the frigid north.

Not all the time but the way they look suggests that they're nordic.

Tolkien's work is based off of Anglo Saxon and Nordic legend and folklore, as well as much other Old English and similar writings, so it is very possible that Dwarves do come from those stories.

I still think the original Rankin/Bass The Hobbit movie will be much better than the one Peter Jackson will make, as The Hobbit is a story not meant to be of epic sizes, but a tale of one's journey "there and back again", as Tolkien stated himself in a sort.
