Evangeline Lilly has joined the cast of Peter Jackson's upcoming big-screen adaptation of The Hobbit. Lilly, probably best known for her role as Kate in Lost, will be playing Tauriel, a woodland Elf described as a ''daughter of Mirkwood.'' Tauriel is a new character created for the movie.
In less photogenic news, veteran Australian actor Barry Humphries will also be joining the cast, playing the role of the Goblin King. Humphries is perhaps best known for his comedy characters, including ''cultural'' attache Sir Les Patterson and Dame Edna Everage.
The first installment of the two-movie series, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, is set for release in December 2012.
