Bilbo's Backstory Fully Explained

Bilbo Baggins may have only been a supporting player in the Lord of the Rings films, but he was front and center when Peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy came to life in the 2010s. Ian Holm and Martin Freeman had the honor of playing one of Tolkien's most famous and beloved characters, but all six of Jackson's adaptations are just a taste compared to the detailed description that J.R.R. Tolkien offers in his novels.
