LOS ANGELES - Two more names have been added to the cast of "The Hobbit" -- James Nesbitt and newcomer Adam Brown.
 
Nesbitt is set to play a dwarf named Bofur. Brown will play Ori, another dwarf who fights the infamous dragon, Smaug. They join a cast headed by Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins.
 
Production is underway in New Zealand of "The Hobbit," which will be split into two films for release in December 2012 and December 2013.
