Flight Of The Conchords' Bret McKenzie will return to break some weird hearts in The Hobbit

Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
Peter Jackson’s efforts to turn The Hobbit into the Middle Earth version of a Bob Hope Christmas Special continues with the announcement that Flight Of The Conchords’ Bret McKenzie will reprise his role as a very distracting elf. McKenzie first appeared as an extra in The Fellowship Of The Ring, where his complete lack of lines and mere three seconds of screen time didn’t stop female fans from freaking the fuck out about him, creating a fan site that remarked on the character’s “enigmatic broodiness” and “gorgeous pouty looks,” and giving him the name “Figwit”—an acronym for “Frodo is great… who is THAT?!” Seriously.
