Sean Astin & Dom Monaghan Not in The Hobbit…At Least Not As Sam and Merry

Thanks to TheOneRing

Access Hollywood video-interviewed Sean Astin and Dominic Monaghan about their involvement in The Hobbit (among other stuff), and both said they’re probably not in The Hobbit.
“Laura Saltman: “it was just announced Elijah Wood is gonna do it, what about you?”
Dominic Monaghan: “I don’t think I’m gonna do it, because I’m not alive. The Hobbit is based a long time before Lord of the Rings, so we’re not born yet, where as Elijah I think is gonna do some stuff like flashback thing with Bilbo. I might go out with Elijah and just hang out on set and wave at people and say: employ me, employ me. But no, I’m excited.”
LS: “But what if they put some make-up on you, and make you just look not like you?””
DM: “Yeah, I could be like an orc or an Uruk-hai. No, I’d be excited to do that.””
