Colm Wilkinson and Frances Ruffelle, who played the parts of Jean Valjean and Eponine, respectively, in the original London production of Les Misérables, have accepted minor roles in Tom Hooper's upcoming adaptation of the hit musical, starring Hugh Jackman as the protagonist Valjean and Russell Crowe as Javert.
Wilkinson will be playing the Bishop of Digne, who inspires Valjean to lead a new life, while Ruffelle will cameo as, according to producer Cameron Mackintosh, "the most fabulous whore" in an ensemble scene featuring the musical number "Lovely Ladies".
Says Wilkinson of the role: "I have come full circle."
