Yes! But one of the first times I encountered his excellent work, was as Frodo.

The same for myself as well. Age difference or not, I could never quite adjust to Martin Freeman playing Bilbo in the Hobbit movies.

Such a loss of a great Actor. the films I watch often where he appeared in from my collection are, Naked Lunch, Dance with a stranger and Chariots of fire. May he rest in peace.
