He was truly a Baggins (not some block-headed Bracegirdle from Hardbuttle).

RIP FF.

I will never forget how badly he scared the s*** out of me when I was nine years old and first saw 'The Fellowship of the Ring' back in 2001. You know, this scene:

Actually, there is a lot about that movie that frightened me at the time.

Anyway, back on topic, he had other notable roles too like as Ash in 'Alien' and the priest guy from 'The Fifth Element.' But I get how Bilbo is most peoples' reference point to him.

He will be missed. 2020 claims another one!

Very sad. He was a great actor.

Besides Lord of the Rings, I also remember watching his version of King Lear in my AP English class. (I thought the actress who played Goneril in that version was Carolyn Kepcher from The Apprenctice for some reason.)

May his soul fly into the West and find peace.

Yeah, he had a lot of roles in SF/F movies.  I liked him as Napoleon in "Time Bandits".  I guess he went on to play Napoleon again in "The Emperor's New Clothes", but I never saw that movie.

In the middle of the earth, in the land of the Shire
There was a brave little hobbit whom we all admired
With his long wooden pipe, fuzzy woolly toes
Lived in a hobbit-hole and everybody knew him.
Bilbo, Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
Only three feet tall,
Bilbo, Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all.

And then they were thirteen.

I think his performance as Charles Dodgson aka Lewis Carroll in Dreamchild is underrated.
