in the 1977 animated version of "the hobbit", thorin is voiced by hans conried. in the 1982 game "the hobbit" thorin appears as an ai controlled character and one of his seemingly random actions ("thorin sits down and starts singing about gold", which occurs when the player does nothing for a while) became quite famous.
