Bilbo might be best known as an adventurer, famed for his dragon-slaying, treasure-retrieving quests in ‘The Hobbit’ film series, but it turns out when it’s all over, all he really wants to do is flog paper over the phone, much like Martin’s character in the original British ‘Office’, Tim.
‘The Office: Middle Earth’ also features several other characters from the famous film series, including Gandalf, who is revealed to be a pretty decent “general manager”, in addition to his wizarding ability, inspired by Ricky Gervais’ original David Brent character.

The final film in the ‘Hobbit’ series, ‘The Battle Of Five Armies’ hit cinemas earlier this month, and stars Ian McKellen, Richard Armitage and Luke Evans.
Orlando Bloom also reprises his role of Legolas, which he originated in the ‘Lord Of The Rings’ trilogy, though when he was snapped at the film’s premiere in London two weeks ago, he didn’t seem too happy to pose next to one of his particularly handsy co-stars.
