15 Actors Who Would Be Great In Star Wars: Episode 7

10. Martin Freeman

Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) Freeman will be busy with the Hobbit series over the next few years, but he should definitely try to get a part in one of the Star Wars movies afterwards. His inherent likability and everyman appeal would fit in well with the style of movies in which a JJ Abrams Star Wars will probably be made. Freeman first got famous for his work in British TV comedies, and his comedic abilities would be useful in a Star Wars movie. His role in Sherlock offered more evidence for his acting ability. Freeman would work best as one of the non-jedi on the hero's side, maybe as a pilot or some other member of the Rebel Alliance where he could put his everyman charm to best effect.

I love movies, literature, history, music and the NBA. I love all things nerdy including but not limited to Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, and Firefly. My artistic idols are Dylan, Dostoevsky, and Malick and my goal in life is to become like Bernard Black from Black Books. When I die, I hope to turn into the space baby from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
