Ford Prefect : What Character Did Martin Freeman Play?

Martin freeman did a great job looking bewildered in his dressing-gown as arthur dent, although his performance was shadowed by the constant mooning over trillian like a lovesick puppy. zooey deschanel as trillian was a fairly good choice, but in the books she isn't given quite so large a role and there is probably a good reason for it. personally i didn't care for mos def as ford prefect, he mumbled too much and seemed to be quiet and uncomfortable rather than a savvy hitchhiker who always knows where his towel is.

And alan rickman providing his nasal drones to marvin the paranoid android worked to near perfection. that's not to say that the american cast isn't great. mos def and zooey deschanel are excellent as ford prefect and trillian, but it's obvious that it's sam rockwell who's having all the fun, relishing his role as the over-excitable, reminiscently hippie-rockstar ex-president of the galaxy, zaphod beeblebrox.
