Any Stephen Fry casting news is good news for the simple reason that the man is a genius and not seen on screen nearly often enough these days. This particular bit of news? Well, it's particularly good.
Stephen Fry has joined the cast of Peter Jackson's The Hobbit with the brilliant comedian, writer and actor set to play the Master Of Laketown. While this is not the sort of role that Fry is typically associated with the simple fact is that he can do pretty much anything he sets his mind to and I have no doubt that he'll be very strong in the part.
Also tucked away in the casting announcement is word that Bangkok based stuntman Conan Stevens - a behemoth familiar from his work in several Sahamongkol titles, Chandni Chowk To China and now Game Of Thrones, who also happens to turn up in Twitch comment threads from time to time - has been cast as the orc Azog.
