*TTT - Legolas (Orlando Bloom)*

[Atariel]

Orlando Bloom was really good as Legolas. And the reason why he looked so worried in the Fellowship of the Ring is because the stuff that happens to them just gets ****tier and ****tier. First, he joins the Fellowship. Second, it snows and he's surrounded by all these rotund mortals who sink straight through the snow. Third, Gandalf (one of the only two charcaters he actually feels an initial bond with) falls off a bridge. Fourth, he has to be blind-folded as he's led through Lorien, due to that oaf Gimli. Fifth, he has to leave Lothlorien. Sixth, he's stuck in a boat with the dead-weight-dwarf. Seventh, Frodo goes walkabouts with Gardener Sam. Eighth, Boromir dies and all Aragorn (the other character that he bonds with initially) can do is sing, and prompt him to do so aswell. and then they have to run for miles and miles and miles across the plains inhabited by smelly but nonetheless cool men, with the Dead-Weight-Dwarf. and that's only BEFORE they get to Edoras. <P>Anyhoo, he's a brilliant actor, who just happens to be good-looking as well. i don't think it should effect the way people think about him and his acting. After all, he is a human being. (Orlando, not Legolas!)<P>Oh, and it was his 26th birthday today!
