Peter Dinklage Joins 'Underdog' Cast


Peter Dinklage has joined the cast of Walt Disney's Pictures live-action big-screen adaptation of the classic 1960s cartoon Underdog, says the Hollywood Reporter.

The feature will see Dinklage play the villainous Simon Bar Sinister. 'Underdog' followed the adventures of a humble dog named Shoeshine Boy who became the superheroic Underdog who spoke in rhymes.

Simon Bar Sinister was one of the show's recurring villains and, unbeknown to the tykes watching the show, his last name slyly translated to 'Evil Bastard'.
