Figwit Lives

[Arwen Imladris]

Click<A HREF="http://www.figwitlives.net/" TARGET=_blank>here</A>for his fan site.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> During the council of Elrond, he sits next to Aragorn until they all stand up and begin to argue. After Frodo shouts "I will take it" and everyone turns and looks at him, you see Figwit standing - on the far right, looking perfect, pouty, and gorgeous. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P> <P>That's Figwit! Isn't it funny? Some crazy people noticed this unamed elf at the council of elrond and gave him a name. "Figwit" is played by Bret McKenzie, he only took the part because his girlfriend, a secretary at Weta, made him. Has anyone noticed him before in the films?

[Sharia]

I've never noticed him before, but I'm gonna go and watch the film again. He's gorgeous Why do tehy call him Figwit? Does it mean anything special or is it just a name?

[Arwen Imladris]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Q: Why is he called Figwit? Is that his real name?<BR>A: Figwit stands for "Frodo is grea...who is THAT?!" We don't know his real name.<BR>If you're really desperate you can call him Figgy, Melpomaen (very loose translation of 'fig' and 'wit'), The Silent One, Feathers (don't ask), and of course Gorgeous.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Heres a pic of him looking a bit strange<P><A HREF="http://www.undercover.com.au/bretmckenzie.jpg" TARGET=_blank>Figwitty</A>

[Arwen Imladris]

Wow, that is strange. Are you sure that is him?

[eleanor_niphredil]

I take it they used ALOT of makeup in the movie...

[Mattius]

Yeah its real, is the picture they <I>don't</I> want you to see!

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

Interestin...figwit doesnt sound like an acronym, somehow.<P>Mattius, I like your signature. Did yo make it up?

[nevlhachien]

Figwit!! Ha!!! He is gorgeus!! And I really like his name. I am going to have to tell my friends about him <P>-nevie

[DarkRose]

For some reason, Figwit reminds me of Orlando Bloom. They have SLIGHTLY similar faces, in my humble opinion.

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

Yes, I thought so too, but then sometimes my eyesight goes weird, I thought it might be that.

[Mattius]

GaladrieloftheOlden, I can honestly say I never make up my own Sigs. I got the chicken one from <A HREF="http://www.bored.com" TARGET=_blank>www.bored.com</A>

[Lindril Arvilya]

Maybe it's just one of those "Elven resemblances" or something.<P>And wait. "Figwit lives"? As opposed to... "Figwit dies"? Was he one of th e Elves sent to Helm's Deep? Sorry girls, (and possibly guys... you never know) it may be the cold hard truth.<p>[ March 02, 2003: Message edited by: Lindril Arvilya ]

Another little tidbit from dear Figwit: <A HREF="http://www.theonering.net/perl/newsview/2/1049509518" TARGET=_blank>Figwit Lives On Air</A><P>Lindril Arvilya: I don't think that he was at helms deep, most of those elves were from Lothlorien, not Rivendell.

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

My friend and I could NEVER find Figgy! But just the other day I saw him and was like "THERE HE IS!! I SAW FIGWIT!" And we were happy.<BR>Oo, he's so pretty! *swoons*

[Birdland]

My goodness, it just gets weirder and weirder. I'm all for any actor/entertainer grabbing 15 minutes of fame, so here's to "Figwit" (actor/musician Bret McKenzie) for getting his.<P>But what's really weird is I just found that the actor's father, Peter McKenzie, played the role of Elendil. So in a way, I guess you could say that "Figwit" and Aragorn are actually related.

[Arwen Imladris]

My, that is wierd! Freaky! I wonder if they planned that?

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

Well now it makes sense! Bret McKenzie, Peter McKenzie. I get it! I get jokes. (hehehe, love that Homer.)<BR>Have you been to ninecompanions.net? Read their Figwit Files. "Watch the language, Figwit!" They're so funny!

[Burzdol]

He also rides up behind Legolas.<P>~Burzdol~

[Arwen Imladris]

Figwit a.k.a. Bret McKenzie and his partner Jemaine Clement just performed at the Aoteaora New Zealand TV2 International Laugh! Festival as the Flight Of The Conchords.<P><A HREF="http://www.theonering.net/perl/newsview/7/1051628019" TARGET=_blank>More!</A>

[Elrond Jr]

btw....if you didn't know Figwit stands for...Frodo Is Great, Who Is That....

[Finnguala]

YEAH! I finally saw him, when I was watching FotR yesterday!! I started yelling "FIGWIT! FIGWIT!!" and my brother gave me a very funny look... heh... anyway, who gave that guy the name Figwit? It's a terrible name!

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

It's very funny, actually, I think <P>~Menelien

[Everdawn]

He looks great in the movie.. but out of it.. I dunnow... anyhow...

[Eressië Ailin]

Has anyone hear 'Frodo, Don't wear the Ring'? It's on the Fiwit site. Listen to it. It is very amusing.

[Laiquendi]

he has a site dedicated to him...... he's gorgeous, it's really quite funny

[Aethelwine]

YYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<P>*shouts* Figwit, Figwit, Figwit!!! *Does a little dance* I love him! He is so cool! Everybody should really read that site, it has some great things on it.<P>By the way, do you guys know that Figwit even appeared in a few newspapers?!?! One of them was USA today!!! Thats just so great!<P>But yeah, I'll shut up know...<P>Aethelwine<P>BTW, did you know --> Figwit lives!!!

[Arwen Eruantale]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>it's really quite funny<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Yes. It's really <B><I>quite</I></B> rediculous...

[Finnguala]

Ah, yes!! I agree! It's a horrible name! Doesn't sound Elvish at all. I think we should give him another, more beautiful name.

[Aethelwine]

I like the name Figwit... It grew on me... Frodo is grea... WHO IS THAT?!?!<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR><BR>Ah, yes!! I agree! It's a horrible name! Doesn't sound Elvish at all. I think we should give him another, more beautiful name.<BR><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Any suggestions?<P>Aethelwine.

[Finnguala]

Yes, I do. But I don't think anyone is going to call him like that. I mean, everybody knows him as Figwit.
