Big, cuddly, soft and a fine father figure, Brendan Gleeson would seem to be ideally cut out for the role as Papa Smurf when he joins the cast of the sequel to the 2011 movie, The Smurfs.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Gleeson has been confirmed as one of the new faces in the follow up to the hugely successful CG/live action hybrid, which grossed over $560 million worldwide.
Unfortunately for Gleeson fans looking forward to the possibility of him donning a red suit, rocking a bushy white beard and dispensing worldly wisdom to the Smurf villagers, Gleeson will not be playing Papa Smurf, but Victor Doyle, stepfather to the character Patrick Winslow, who was played by Neil Patrick Harris in the original movie.
