Finally! Hobbit News to (Kinda) Care About!
Yes, this is the least gayest picture I could find of Lee Pace.
Despite two cult shows, Lee Pace has managed to stay under the radar for quite a while now. It’s not hard to see why. Sure, I loved him in Wonderfalls and Pushing Daisies, but his film career has been lackluster and completely void of the charm he brought to those shows. I’m looking at you, Possession, Marmaduke, and The Resident.
But 2011 looked to be a big year for our old pal Lee. He managed to score a role in (ugh) the final two Twilight films. And Sunday came the news that Peter Jackson has cast him in the long delayed upcoming Hobbit films. This works, as not only does Lee already look somewhat like an elf (and indeed as he was cast an elf king or something equally nerdy), but maybe this will lead to more lucrative roles for him besides “Lead female’s boyfriend who dies in the third act”.
Time will tell. God speed, li’l Lee!

I almost let out the loudest, most obnoxious laugh when I read the caption under the photo. I love Lee Pace, but Pushing Daisies, heck, even Possession, was the only time he had like, more than five lines in something. Maybe Ceremony will make him shine?

Lee Pace just opened on Broadway in the revival of The Normal Heart. No big reviews yet, but the press is good!

P.S. I’m also Lee Pace’s publicist now, apparently.

Hi, as a big Tolkien fan, I can’t wait for the Hobbit films. Especially loved the music of the trilogy, and then found this on iTunes. The Hobbit – A Cinematic Journey. It’s very like the music from the films, even has a bit of ‘The Omen’ about it. http://itunes.apple.com/ie/album/the-hobbit-a-cinematic-journey/id455831618
