In an interview with the Argyllshire Standard, former Doctor Who Sylvester McCoy (he played the seventh Time Lord) has revealed that he is in talks to possibly play Radagast the Brown in Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings prequel The Hobbit.

According to McCoy, the Scottish actor is one of two actors being considered for the role which many internet sites think will be Radagast the Brown…

“I am being cast in The Hobbit. We’re currently in negotiations – there are two of us under consideration. It’s not the Bilbo role, but could be bigger.”

According to the Wikipedia blurb, Radagast the Brown is…

“one of the Istari or Wizards who were sent by the angelic Valar to aid the Elves and Men of Middle-earth in their struggle against the Dark Lord Sauron. Radagast appears in The Lord of the Rings and Unfinished Tales, and is mentioned in The Hobbit and The Silmarillion.
