Meet the Thorin Stunt Double in "The Hobbit"

 

This is Mana Davis-

the other guy playing Thorin in "The Hobbit."

He is Richard Armitage's stunt double.

(And a mighty handsome one, if I do say so myself!)

My RA buddy Deb brought this fellow to my
attention today. (Thanks, Deb!)  She thinks he

and Richard have matching ears. :)

 

Mr. Davis has a very
impressive list of past work, including:

Prince Caspian, Underworld, X-Men, King Kong,

Spartacus, and The Lord of the Rings trilogy, among many
other television/films. See more listed HERE, where he is
indeed listed as Richard Armitage's stunt double.

 

Mana discussing The Lord of the Rings:

I was going to link this post to that stunt double

website, until I realized it gave his personal info

such as a phone number and email address.
Not wanting to be held responsible for a swooning mob

of women going after him, I have decided to leave out that

link! (Not that we know anyone who obsesses over

handsome actors, right? *cough*)
