What started as a rumor has now been confirmed, according to Variety, Bret McKenzie has been confirmed to appear in The Hobbit movies.
The actor will play Lindir, an Elf of Rivendell. Some readers might remember that McKenzie actually had a role in the first and third of Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy as an extra named Figwit by fans, after a fan thought “Frodo is great … who is that” and spawned the acronym.
While specific details of McKenzie’s character in The Hobbit have not yet been confirmed, we will of course keep you up to date on any developments.
