I've always had this weird thing about Radagast the Brown.
I mean, he's barely mentioned in the appendices of Lord of the Rings, but I remember my reaction was: "Wait! There's another wizard in Middle Earth! Cool!"
My name Duncan, is from Dun -- "dark or brown" and Can -- "warrior."
So, you know for a fantasy writer, that's my moniker -- Dark Warrior. I even favored brown clothes for a couple of years when I was a teenager.
So, I hope they give Radagast more than a few moments in the new Hobbit movie.

About Me
- Duncan McGeary
- I'm Duncan McGeary, owner and/or operator for the last 39 years of Pegasus Books in Downtown Bend, Oregon. These days I'm writing books as well as selling them. I'm the comic book guy. But even more so, I'm a book book guy. Books of all kinds. Big books and little books, children's and adult, fiction and non-fiction, hardback and paperback and trade paperback and graphic novels. Books with more words than pictures and books with more pictures than words. They are all part of the book world to me, and I love being surrounded by them every day.

Somewhat taking away from the Dark Warrior moniker, is McGeary, which means basically: "Farmer's Son."
But then again, I could construct a whole story about a young boy on a farm who is goes off on a great adventure and ends up wearing black clothing.
That sounds familiar...
I mean, Radagast could be the Boba Fett of this whole franchise -- barely has a few scenes, but endless stories are written about him.
Sadly, the picture I've seen of him make him look kind of goofy.
I felt the same way about Radagast. Saruman, Gandalf and Radagast.
I remember the good ol days when Saruman was cool and would sit back with a beer and talk about the old days with Radagast and Gandalf.
yes, sir. Those were the good old days...
Humble farmer's son becomes Dark Warrior. Great story line there.
"I remember the good ol days when Saruman was cool and would sit back with a beer and talk about the old days with Radagast and Gandalf."
Or smoke some of that wacky tobacky, aka "pipeweed."
