Winning option:a Human “I don’t want to tell anybody where I am, but I’m in it … check IMDb,” Colbert said before explaining that Jackson invited him and his family to visit the New Zealand set during production.

“We’re in a scene in Laketown,” Colbert added. “I don’t want what to say what, where in the movie — it’s kind of a ‘Where’s Waldo.’

Laketown is the human settlement which Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) and the band of Dwarves pass through on their way to reclaim Lonely Mountain from the dragon Smaug, voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch.

IMDb has Colbert listed as playing a “Laketown Spy” in film. Audiences can find out what that means, if anything, when “Desolation of Smaug” hits theaters on Friday.

Background

Stephen Colbert, a self-proclaimed fan of The Hobbit and the full works of J.R.R. Tolkien, has been confirmed to make an appearance in Peter Jackson’s latest Tolkien-based film series.

Colbert will be officially added to the roster of Middle-Earth citizens, according to the Hollywood Reporter. From a source that they can’t reveal, they claim that Colbert will be in a Hobbit movie, just not the one coming out this Christmas.

We’ll have to wait a whole year after The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug to see Colbert dressed up as a dwarf, or an elf, or what have you.

Stephen Colbert has revealed that he got a minor role in the upcoming "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug."

The political satirist recently revealed his work on the film during an appearance on the "Late Show with David Letterman."

Letterman started the conversation by telling Colbert that he had something in common with the film's movie star Ian McKellan and Colbert interrupted to reveal his involvement in the film.

"I'm kind of the breakout star of 'The Hobbit,' Dave," Colbert said, according to the Huffington Post. "I don't want to tell anybody where I am, but I am in it." He even told Letterman to check out IMDB to verify the claim.

"If it's on the Internet then it is real," he said.

Colbert then went on to explain how he got involved with the movie.
