No one deserved a Hobbit cameo more than Stephen Colbert, the man who Peter Jackson called the biggest Tolkien geek he’d ever met[3] . This is a man, after all, who dedicated an entire week of The Colbert Report [4] to the first Hobbit movie last year, who visited the sequel’s set in New Zealand. It’s almost like he was auditioning for a role!
Well, mission accomplished, Stephen.
Long rumored — Colbert recently described it as a Where’s Waldo? role[8] — the late-night star pops up in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. He plays a hooded spy in Laketown. It’s difficult to recognize him at first, but then, when he breaks into a Sondheim song, there’s no denying it’s Colbert.
Okay, so he doesn’t break out into song. (Wasted opportunity.) But it’s undeniably Colbert. A GIF on Reddit[9] reveals Colbert’s calculated thespian turn, with a twist of malevolence.
