The Hobbit Desolation of Smaug - Official Movie Guide But Drogo, it seems, had been written into the story in order to find a role for the young actor who had made such an impression on the producers when the scenes featuring Drogo were later abandoned, Ryan found himself being reconsidered for Alfrid, the role for which he had originally auditioned. The tragic death of Drogo Baggins (resulting in Frodo being orphaned and adopted by Bilbo) was, for a time, featured as part of the prologue in the script. ‘A decent respectable hobbit was Mr Drogo Baggins there was never much to tell of him, till he was drownded.’ ‘His father was a Baggins,’ Gaffer Gamgee tells his cronies. To be fair, the answer would not have been found in the pages of The Hobbit, but in the opening chapter of The Fellowship of the Ring where the patrons of The Ivy Bush are discussing Frodo’s ancestry. One of those questions might have been ‘Who is Drogo Baggins?’, for that was the part Ryan was offered. It might interest you that the part of Drogo was originally cast in The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug (along with some scenes that explain his absence in the Lord of the Rings trilogy) but the scene was ultimately abandoned before filming took place with the actor being recast as Alfrid. The Sackville-Bagginses won't never see the inside of Bag End now, or it is to be hoped not.'

They thought they were going to get Bag End, that time when he went off and was thought to be dead. 'But I reckon it was a nasty shock for those Sackville-Bagginses. Bilbo never did a kinder deed than when he brought the lad back to live among decent folk. The Fellowship of the Ring: Chapter 1 - A Long-expected Partyįrodo was initially fostered in Brandy Hall (a large multi-roomed residence with enough room for an estimated hundred hobbits) where he lived for nine years until Bilbo offered for him to live in Bag End, ultimately making Frodo his heir, largely because he thought very little of his other relatives. Drogo was staying at Brandy Hall with his father-in-law, old Master Gorbadoc, as he often did after his marriage (him being partial to his vittles, and old Gorbadoc keeping a mighty generous table) and he went out boating on the Brandywine River and he and his wife were drownded, and poor Mr. Frodo is his first and second cousin, once removed either way, as the saying is, if you follow me. Bilbo's first cousin on the mother's side (her mother being the youngest of the Old Took's daughters) and Mr. Drogo, he married poor Miss Primula Brandybuck. They had heard this and other darker rumours before, of course but hobbits have a passion for family history, and they were ready to hear it again. Drogo Baggins there was never much to tell of him, till he was drownded.' Frodo's parents drowned in a mysterious moonlight boating accident, possibly involving a bottle of wine or ale.Īfter all his father was a Baggins.
