"Watch Benedict Cumberbatch's spot-on Peter Jackson impersonation" Can't Post

from io9: http://io9.com/...kson-impe-1524297301
"Who knew Benedict Cumberbatch was a master of the Peter Jackson mutter? In a wonderfully detailed interview, Smaug himself gives us an inside look at the slightly ridiculous art of playing a dragon."

which posted a short clip of Hobbit pertinent material... and the full length interview.

I just fell madly in love! [In reply to] Can't Post

What a delight! I can see why he's able to rattle off his Sherlock dialogue.... his mind works at warp speed and his dialogue can actually keep up!

I'm still sitting here with a HUGE smile on my face. His insecurity while on the attack of this character (Smaug) is fascinating to hear. I can't think of anyone else I'd ever want to own Smaug than Benedict... just as Andy (rightfully praised by the praiseworthy) owns Gollum/Smeagol.

I'm going to have to watch this a few more times AT LEAST!

Thank you for finding this, Magpie :D

He does such fantastic impressions! That gave me a laugh and made me smile. [In reply to] Can't Post

I love how classy and sweet he comes across. It's just a joy to watch him; whether acting or in interviews.

Thanks for sharing!

Spot-on indeed! [In reply to] Can't Post

I love way he just reels it off, so naturally. And I could listen to him talking for hours - thanks for that!

I've come to realise he has an exactitude for language. [In reply to] Can't Post

Occasionally he pauses or corrects himself as he tries to find the right word to get across the thought that is in his head, rather than plumping for a usual, generic word that 'will do'. I love that about him. As if he couldn't get any more adorable!

Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..."
Dwarves: "Pretty rings..."
Men: "Pretty rings..."
Sauron: "Mine's better."

"Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded beggar with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.

Wow [In reply to] Can't Post

spot on. The first time I didn't even notice it. Just wondering why he was all of a sudden in a kind of stutter. But than I got it, Peter!

Thanks for sharing!
