The PeekScores of the Cast of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

Hobbit
In the early 2000s, filmmaker Peter Jackson directed three enormously popular and award winning films, adapting J.R.R. Tolkien’s enduring and beloved The Lord of the Rings novels.

Last fall Jackson released the first film from his second Tolkien-based trilogy, this time adapting (and elaborating upon) Tolkien’s first novel to take place in Rings’ setting of Middle Earth; the equally classic The Hobbit.

On December 13, the second film in this second trilogy, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug hits theaters. In honor of this event, we’ve decided to put its cast of luminaries to the PeekScore test; seeing how they all measure up and compares in the areas of cyberspace impact, influence, prominence, and activity.
