There are lots of name actors who have voiced dragons- Sean Connery- or have the bass to do it- Patrick Warburton- but I'd love them to go with a new or little used voice, perhaps even one with an accent not usually heard in films targeting the English-speaking market.

German? Chinese? Someone from Africa? Any of this plus a host of others could add an air of the exotic to the drake in question.

Stellan Skarsgard?
 

I have to say, I'd like to see/hear Michael Clarke Duncan voice Smaug. The guy's voice is beyond intimidating. And as a plus, he already voiced Atlas in the God of War games.

That said, it would also be interesting to have a more sibilant voice for the dragon, rather than the stereotypical earth-shaking voice. But I'm having trouble coming up with any ideas on that front.

And I can't wait to find out who they cast as Beorn!
 

Can't believe I didn't think of this before, but... George Takei.

He's got the deep resonant voice, with just the faintest hint of accent to make it seem "exotic" as compared to the voices of the other characters around him.

Yeah, but then I'd keep hearing Mulan's patriarch ghost... :)
