Matt Lucas turns down Friar Tuck role on Robin Hood
Matt Lucas of Little Britain fame has turned down the juicy role of Friar Tuck on the upcoming second season of Robin Hood. It had been rumored that he was very interested in the part, and producers were eager to have him on for the role. But citing scheduling reasons and a very busy schedule, Matt Lucas has reportedly turned down the role.
However, The Stage reports that Lucas has said that he will not be able to take the part next year, in what already promises to be a hectic twelve months. 2007 will see Lucas and comedy partner David Walliams take their Little Britain stage show to Australia, as well as work on a US version of the programme.
Wonder who the next person to be tapped for the role will be.
