A few days ago, someone mentioned in a comments thread the possibility (for which all LotR fans fervently hope) that The Hobbit will also be brought to the big screen by Peter Jackson. (Or someone else, but I think PJ's got to get the gig.) Ian Holm being a bit too old for the part, who would you cast as Bilbo?
I think I'll get a lot of flak for this choice, but I'd choose Zach Braff, who's good at both comedy and drama and has the sort of round features of hobbits, including the requisite big, soulful eyes you'd expect of Bilbo. I know he seems a bit "modern" for such a role, but I remember having the same thought when I heard Elijah Wood had been cast, and now I can't imagine anyone else as Frodo.
