Orlando is not that bad an actor!!! And he just ended up as a heart throb...he was an unknown, remember?! Unless you count the...um...I think it was 26 seconds in Wilde (I timed it ). Sure, he isn't such a fluid kind of line-deliverer and stuff, but he's improving...and anyway, they couldn't find anyone else to play Legolas. And somehow I don't think Ashton Kutcher would be able to pull off the wig...I mean, just look at Haldir!!!! (Um...no Haldir fans here I hope...*hides in a tree*).<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Can you imagine a director of a 300 million+ movie casting a major character simply to 'get the chicks to come to the movies? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> In a word...'Arwen'. Liv herself said they cast her and played up her role to increase interest and stuff...and who was this referring to anyway? You can't have been talking about Orli?!!! That phenomenon was more of a result of the films than a draw to the films...I didn't know he'd be good-looking when I saw FOTR, and that was in February when everyone else had already seen it...(And he's got a good many fans in my school- but then it's a girls' school).<P>Yeah, I want a screencap of that Prince of Mirkwood bit and stuff...I regret to admit I gasped when he came in in that silver shirt...you know, we can't actually help it!!!!! My friend looked at me and laughed when she heard me gasp. But there wasn't a loud overall gasp because most of them were men. And everyone cheered on the Oliphaunt stunt and when Eowyn challenged the Witch King.
