Del Toro’s Hobbit role

Deep within the forums over at TheOneRing.net, Guillermo Del Toro recently surfaced to let everyone know that he was going to be making a disguised cameo in his own HOBBIT film.

“I had a hand on the design of the creature and I will personally sculpt the appliances that will be applied on my face and hands. I used to sculpt the creatures for NECROPIA (my FX company) and I miss it a bit.

I will have a line or two and die quickly.”

But how will we recognize him without glasses and a beard? Actually, I think this kind of cameo will be a lot more fun, as guessing which heavily make-upped creature he might be will be better than say, a Shyamalan “I’m-writing-an-entire-character-for-myself” cameo.

Any way-early guesses on who or what Del Toro might show up as?
