Did anyone else notice Stephen Fry as the Master of Laketown in The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug?

Of course I can't see the wonderful Mr. Fry in anything without my brain circling back to Jeeves so... Tolkien/Wodehouse AU anyone?

I love how Stephen Fry's most-cast type these days is, "Appalling social climber." I thought of his turn in 'Gosford Park' the entire time. XD

And really, Jeeves would be Gandalf. Full of inscrutable purpose, can't be bothered with your shit all the time, powerful, basically loyal... Oh dear, it would probably turn into Gandalf/Bilbo on us. Bertie the hobbit makes complete sense, after all.

...You know, since Gandalf actually isn't human, he's *checks Wikipedia* a Maia (and talk about unpacking *that*) one could also do something where Jeeves just is one, in the canon place and time.

Bertie could be a half-elf of some sort, tall and willowy with dreamy eyes, but still absolutely 'Bertie'-ish, to the other elves' dismay. (maybe even funnier if no one was quite sure what the other half was? we all know how those midsummer festivals can be, right?)

I do like a Gandalfish Jeeves, though. Couldn't there be one of the Maiar who got side-tracked far too often looking after that strangely-likeable half-elf fellow. Or disguised as a servant, but really a Maia?
