Martin Freeman who is casted as the main character is still filming his other projects and still coming to do BBC's Sherlock for their second series that is to air next fall. The Hobbit filming will not be as long and hard as the LOTR trilogy was now that a lot of the production sets and ideas are now easier to make and use.

Totally agree. Even though RA is playing one of the main characters (really THE main character after Bilbo) I could see that it would be more than possible to organise the filming schedule so that he could carry on it Spooks and film The Hobbit as well. Plenty of actors juggle more than one project, and even though these are opposite sides of the world, it is still more than possible.
