Stephen Colbert is going to be in The Hobbit
I'm hoping he puts the Stone-trolls on notice!
Stephen Colbert is an enormous fan of J.R.R. Tolkien's works. Just look at his explanation of American politics using Lord of the Rings action figures or his challenging James Franco to a Tolkien debate. Colbert even owns Aragorn's sword, Anduril. So if any satirical political pundit deserves a role in Jackson's Hobbit trilogy, it's Colbert.
Colbert recently announced that he'd visited the set of The Hobbit leading many to speculate that Colbert might make a small appearance. Today, The Hollywood Reporter has reportedly confirmed that Colbert will have a cameo, although it won't appear in the first film, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.
