'Hobbit' Loses it's Fili
Source: Facebook
'The Hobbit' director Peter Jackson has announced the sad news that 'EastEnders' actor Rob Kazinsky - who was set to play the role of Fili, one of the twelve dwarves - has left the film, and that his role will have to be recast.
Jackson had this to say:
"I am sad to report that Rob Kazinsky, who was cast in the role of Fili, is having to leave The Hobbit and return home, for personal reasons. Rob has been terrific to work with and his enthusiasm and infectious sense of humour will be missed by all of us. I should say that Rob's departure will not affect ongoing filming of The Hobbit, nor will it impact work done to date, as we had yet to film much of Fili's storyline. At the moment we are shooting scenes featuring Bilbo without the Dwarves, which will give us time to find a new Fili. I'll keep everyone posted with updates as they come."
Kazinsky confirmed that he was leaving the film due to health issues, and thanked the team via his Twitter:
"Thanks for all your support, Peter and team have been the most wonderful and supportive team to work for and it’s with a truly sad heart that things have turned out this way. The Hobbit will go on to be as great as i’ve seen and I will miss the family and friends that i’ve here, From every disaster i’ve tried to make an opportunity."
Losing an actor during filming isn't unheard of in the film industry and as Jackson explicitly states, Kazinsky's departure is not expected to impact or delay the seemingly cursed film. 'The Hobbit, Part One' is still expected to arrive on December 19th, 2012.

@mjc your basing your opinion on the guy from 1 character he played in a shit soap! I hate Eastenders too but I'm sad for him coz this was his big break and he'll now probably never have a shot

hmm...well, it's not like Fili is the most crucial dwarf in the cast. They can replace him with another lithe-built Brit/Aussie/Kiwi guy and call it a day. It's not like the have to recast the part of Thorin or...God forbid...Bilbo.

I believe your right. I remember the announcement about the start of production, but it seems like it was so long ago.

@Paradox - Maybe a week or two ago when they posted that awesome production video? Or when Peter Jackson started his facebook page in the first place and announced the start of production? Maybe you just remember the bad news better than the good.

@Lenny Del Toro. Oh I see. Because he was about to appear in The Hobbit, Rob Kazinsky must have been a good actor, is that what you're saying?
Pathetic!
Obviously I don't wish any ill will at all on the guy and I hope whatever has pulled him from this project isn't too serious but the truth of the matter is that Rob Kazinsky is a poor actor who belongs on a crap daytime soap opera and not ruining what we hope will be a great movie.
Of course, if you're a fan of Eastenders (sad) or Robs acting (tragic) then I realise nothing I say is going to change your mind. Therefore, we shall have to settle with a stalemate.

Your life is more important than a movie...other opportunities will come along for sure.
