Guess who is joining 'Sherlock'?
Guess which endearingly goofy BBC star is joining the cast of 'Sherlock' in a guest spot for series two?
Russell Tovey, from Being Human!
From Digital Spy:
Russell Tovey has signed up for a guest role in the second series of BBC One's Sherlock.
The Being Human star will appear in the second episode, 'The Hounds of Baskerville', written by Mark Gatiss.
Tovey will play a man who recruits Sherlock (Benedict Cumberbatch) and Watson (Martin Freeman) after suffering from a traumatic childhood experience.
The actor plays George on BBC Three's Being Human and stars in the same channel's Him & Her opposite Sarah Solemani.
He has also appeared in episodes of Doctor Who, Gavin & Stacey and Ashes to Ashes.
It was previously announced that the new series of Sherlock will be comprised of Steven Moffat's 'A Scandal In Belgravia', 'The Hounds of Baskerville' and Steve Thompson's 'The Reichenbach Fall'.
Back in April, Mark Gatiss explained the decision to adapt "the three most famous" Sherlock Holmes tales.
"Having had a successful first run, we knew that the natural order would be to do the three most famous things, so we're doing a version of [those three stories]," he said. "They just fall like that, and then it's a question of how to get out of that [series one] cliffhanger!"
The second series of Sherlock is currently filming in Cardiff.

Tovey comfirmed the guest role via his twitter this morning (@russelltovey) and revealed that he's playing the character of Henry.
