A New Elrond - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Hi,<P>I've seen David Bowie in LABYRINTH, he made a lovely goblin king, but Elrond he isn't - and he's too old. Radio, maybe - he does speak well. Not film. Too many people think of him as a singer. Hugo Weaving had the right dignity and gravity for the part and I think I will always imagine Elrond as him from now on. of course, I'm slightly biased, being an Aussie. : - ). I've seen Hugo Weaving as Petruchio and Benedick on stage. Lovely actor!
