Nick Frost Cuddles with Gerard Butler for How to Train Your Dragon
It’s intriguing to observe who will bring characters to life when animated properties transition into live-action. For example, the How to Train Your Dragon series is set to come alive in a grand live-action form next year. While some voice actors from the franchise like Gerard Butler (Stoick the Vast) will carry their roles over, new actors are being chosen to fill in for others. Instead of Jay Baruchel, who voices Hiccup, the young lead character, Mason Thames has been cast for the live-action film. In place of Craig Ferguson, Gobber the Belch, Stoick’s friend, will be played by Nick Frost, known for his humorous performances in Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Hyperspace, and the recent release Black Cab.
