From http://www.benedictcumberbatch.co.uk/benedict-cumberbatch-and-louise-brealey-discuss-sherlock-at-cheltenham-literary-festival/ "On playing Smaug. Does it get really hot and sweaty in the motion capture suit? It does, it does its a brilliant thing to do. Motion Capture is the most ridiculously fun thing to do as an actor. Youre utterly utterly free to do what you want as an actor especially as Im a reptile and not a mammal and so there are things that arent quite possible such as a tail and wings. It was such good fun. It was just as good fun as doing the voice. What is so frustrating is some publicist who wanted to get my business in the US released this thing saying that I was voicing Smaug and its followed me around everywhere. Im doing the movements! I worked for two days solid doing the motion capture for those scenes and Im voicing it as well. And I did the motion capture for the Necromancer as well."
"There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something."

Perhaps they re-learned you can't separate the body and the voice?

It is among us, but media only mentions the voice acting part.

Dinosaurs (subset of) Reptiles

That's because the classification system is seriously out of date.
|
Fardragon

That's correct, Dinosaurs are now largely considered to be neither reptiles nor birds, but their own specific clade inbetween. //

If they're bringing Bret McKenzie back, I don't see why they wouldn't bring Bruce Spence back...?
