BTS Video: Benedict Cumberbatch Gets His Smaug On

There’s nothing like starting the day with Benedict Cumberbatch getting his Smaug on in this behind the scenes video from The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. The actor’s rich voice is decidedly menacing as he speaks while fitted with motion capture equipment.

Cumberbatch will be next seen in The Imitation Game with Keira Knightley, which comes out in theaters November 21, 2014.

The third installment of the Hobbit films, The Battle of Five Armies will be released on December 17. 2014.
