When we think of Wizards in Middle-earth, the first image to come to mind is looming figures with long flowing robes and exquisitely carved staffs, serious world-shapers played by grave-faced British thespians with booming voices. Well, Radagast has the beard and the staff, but he's obviously cut from a different cloth than Gandalf and Sauruman. From his fuzzy brown robes to his mossy magical stick to that quirky hat of his to say nothing of the fact that he appears to drive a sleigh pulled by giant rabbits Radagast is one of the most strikingly off-beat characters in the trilogy that we've caught a glimpse of yet. He also represents the possibility for a unique dynamic in the White Council. Sauruman in the books describes Radagast as a bird-watcher and a fool so he obviously won't be sharing the cordial (if somewhat condescending) respect that we've seen him show to Gandalf. And with the White Council's struggle making up a goodly portion of The Hobbit Trilogy, we'll need someone who can shake up the dynamic a bit.
