Rings star Holm to play late Pope


British actor Sir Ian Holm is to play Pope John Paul II in a television mini-series.

Sir Ian, 73 - who played Bilbo Baggins in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy - will portray the late Pope in the four-hour biopic for US television.

Pope John Paul II died earlier this year aged 84.

While Sir Ian will portray him from the time he was elected to the papacy in 1978 until his death, a younger actor will play his earlier years.

When someone in the movie has to kiss his ring, will Sir Ian say, "Yes... kiss my precious..."
