Yes. It was a good idea to portray that in the movie, even though it did present some problems in the book - it seemed that one size fit all.
For that reason, at least in the movie version, the Balrog could have conceivably took the ring and wore it. (maybe on his pinky finger )

Would the balrog have understood what the Ring was? If he'd been sleeping through the Second Age, he might not understand the "technology".
I liked Gandalf's reference to him in the first film as "a demon of the ancient world", implying that this is something beyond understanding from an almost alien world. Since the balrog fled from Angband, the world had been reshaped twice. So, would the balrog have the brains or understanding to wield the Ring effectively? |

Questionable...
I'm a little confused now...In the first movie didnt Gandalf tell them to run from the Balrog because their weapons couldnt help them but in the 2nd movie the Balrog was killed by being repeatedlly stabbed with a sword. I dont get it....
