I feel cheated. >:( ;)
Someone just posted a pic on a blog site of Benedict Cumberbatch portraying the monster in the Frankenstein stage production and he looks in the pic, stark naked (it's a rear shot). Now it's not beyond actors on stage to be naked in theatrical productions, esp in the UK, so now I'm wondering if the opening scene is really played in the nude, but for the filmed version I saw, they covered him up.
I wuz robbed! >:( :laugh:

I wonder how many people watching this new version even know who "Boswell" was? ???

Benedict Cumberbatch joins Hobbit cast
British actor Benedict Cumberbatch is set to reteam with his Sherlock co-star Martin Freeman after landing a role in upcoming Lord of the Rings prequel The Hobbit.
Freeman, who will star as Bilbo Baggins in the two-part fantasy film, accidentally revealed the casting news backstage at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) TV Awards on Sunday.
Early reports suggest Cumberbatch will voice the dragon character Smaug but the actor refused to specify his role, insisting, "I can't say at the moment, thank you very much."
A red-faced Freeman later told reporters, "I knew I was a sort of a big mouth but I didn't realise to what extent I was a big mouth, and I've just ruined everything. I might not actually go back to a job - they might have just sacked (fired) me."
Cumberbatch plays Sherlock Holmes opposite Freeman as Dr Watson in a TV adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary sleuth stories. The duo picked up the Best Drama Series prize for the show at the BAFTA TV Awards.

Excellent indeed! I hope it will be a part where we will see as well as hear him. Am I asking for the moon?
delalluvia:
Yay!!! [Happy Dance]
He has a marvelous voice, so Benedict would be perfect. But he has the height and look of an elf as well. I'd prefer to see him, but hearing is good too!
Yay!!!
