Well, it wouldn’t be the first time an actor has gotten on their knees for a role. Universal has offered Bob Hoskins, Eddie Izzard, Toby Jones, Eddie Marsan, and Steven Graham roles as warrior dwarves in the upcoming Snow White and the Huntsman. They are so going to band together and kick Charlize Theron’s ass.

From yesterday’s report that Ian McShane was cast as the dwarf leader, Caesar, you can gather that these aren’t the cartoonish dwarves we’re all accustomed to. Hoskins will play the blind dwarf, Constantine, Izzard will play the burly Tiberius, and Jones will play Claudius, the quiet one.

So that gives us six out of the seven dwarves and if I’m spotting a trend in the casting, Ricky Gervais will be the next to join. Which would be totally messed, you guys. YOU KNOW that he and Warwick Davis are besties. (THR)

FX Is Giving Eddie Izzard Another Chance To Fail

Eddie Izzard may have struck out with “The Riches,” but that’s not enough reason for FX to not let him have another turn at bat.

He’s back with a new drama project where he’ll play a disgraced former Congressman. After a sex scandal costs him his job, he becomes an aggressive political fixer. Job duties entail he blackmail, steal, and use guns in a threatening manner. I’m sure he’ll also find a way to end up in drag on the series. Cheeky monkey. (Deadline)
