In the movie he was, at the meeting that was held in Rivendell. He was not in the book though.
Saruman was the head of the White Council until about sixty years after the Hobbit during the events of 'The Lord of the Rings' when Gandalf removed Saruman.
Not directly, Saruman is the head wizard and one of the Wise that attack the Necromancer and force him out of southern Mirkwood. However we find out in Lord of the Rings that Saruman really only did this as part of his attempt to get the One Ring for himself, as he was aware that the Necromancer was also searching for the One Ring (but had told the Wise nothing of this) and did not want the competition during his search.
Part 1 is December 2012, part 2 December 2013.

Some evil characters in LOTR are Sauron, Saruman, and their followers. In the Hobbit, it is mainly Smaug and other, lesser evil characters. In the Silmarillion, it is Morgoth.
An Unexpected Journey, Part 1 of the Hobbit is supposed to be out in December 14, 2012. There and Back Again, Part 2 is schelduled for December 13, 2013.
He played Saruman.
The Wargs were sent by Saruman in an effort to find the Ring before Sauron. Both parties knew that the One Ring remained in existence and had been found by Baggins - a hobbit from the Shire. Saruman was a Wizard-turned-bad via his thirst for power and desire for the One Ring.
Yes. In the novel, he is killed right at the end, stabbing Saruman before being shot by Hobbit archers. In the movie adaptation - extended edition only, at the pinnacle of Orthanc he likewise stabs Saruman, before taking a lethal arrow shot from Legolas at ground level.
Saruman was created in 1940-08.
