Stephen Fry Cast In Netflix’s The Sandman Series

It’s been revealed that Stephen Fry has been cast in Netflix’s The Sandman series and I cannot wait to see him in action in the show.

Here’s what Neil Gaiman had to say of the character Gilbert and casting Stephen Fry in the role:

Rose Walker’s debonair protector. A dab hand with a paradox and a sword cane. Stephen Fry (he/him) is a National Treasure, and we forget sometimes that he’s also a remarkable actor. Seeing him in costume and make up on the dailies made me blink: it was as if the comic had come to life.

Gaiman is certainly not wrong there.

I do believe that we forget what a terrific actor Stephen Fry is, and he is perfect casting for the role of Gilbert.
