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)

As part of the effort to cast the nearly 2 million characters in the Hunger Games, Donald Sutherland has generously offered his efforts to the project. And he’s not just playing some rube, either – he’s none other than President Snow. Here’s a brief description of the character:

“Snow is the autocratic ruler of Panem who uses the violent Hunger Games as a way to maintain control”

Well, you know, whatever it takes to maintain control, right? I don’t really blame him for pitting teenagers against each other in fights to the death. President Sutherland is joining Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Toby Jones, Lenny Kravitz, Woody Harrelson, Stanley Tucci, Wes Bentley and Elizabeth Banks in the cast. Hey, don’t blame me, I voted for James Garner. (Deadline)

‘The Hunger Games’ Continues New Trend Of Casting People We’ve Actually Heard Of

Wookie Johnson — Tue, 24 May 2011 17:38:32 +0000

After hiring a steady stream of actors you’ve never heard of, The Hunger Games has brought in a name you should kinda know. Toby Jones will star alongside the previously cast Stanley Tucci as a guy who looks like a caricature drawing the co-host of the deadly games.

Best known for his roles in W., The Mist, and Infamous, Jones looks like he’ll be breaking through big in the next few years. Fanboys everywhere will see him this summer as the villian Armin Zola in Captain America: The First Avenger (seriously, can this guy go anywhere without Stanley Tucci?), and to have a role in The Hunger Games will raise his profile significantly. This is great news as Jones is a terrific actor, but sad news for Clint Howard. Looks like Hollywood has a new “Whoa, Is That That Guy’s Face???” Guy. (Deadline)

Toby Jones Cast in ‘Captain America’

_{What is it with people and their five fingers?}

Toby Jones is in final negotiations to play villain Armin Zola in Captain America: The First Avenger. Title not look familiar? That’s because it used to be The First Avenger: Captain America. Give yourself a few days to adjust. Like when your parents got divorced.

The British actor is best known for playing Truman Capote in Infamous, Karl Rove in W., and the grocery clerk with a penchant for gun slinging in The Mist. He’ll be joining Hugo Weaving, who’s already been cast as Red Skull, in an effort to give Captain America a really tough time. Jones’ character, Armin Zola, is a scientific genius specializing in genetics and cloning. So don’t be surprised when a herd of two-headed sheep stampede an entire city. (/Film)
