Would you like to have been an extra in the 3 LOTR films ? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Kath · 04-25-2005, 12:29 PM

I would have been and done anything they asked just so long as I got to be in one of them! I'd have loved to be an elf but I think I'm a little short for that, yet too tall to be a hobbit! It would have been great to play an orc though - all that slouching and snarling, and nobody could complain that you were just being a moody teenager, I sense power! Mwahahaha.

Heck yes! Especially someone who does stunts!

I wouldn't mind just being someone in the background either. Then I could point myself out to people. Who knows? Maybe I would end up being famous, like Figwit!

I would have loved to be a Gondorian soldier in Minas Tirith or Osgiliath...

I would love to have been one of those people who were trampled by Gandalf and Shadowfax... Unfortunately, I would most likely be caught on the saddle or clipped.

Either that, or be one of the million odd elves who make Elrond's home look habitable in his worst and usual moods.

Just any part that calls for odd people.

not sure if this counts... i would have liked to have been the voice of one of the ents at entmoot... and if not a hobbit in hobbiton no doubt

I would have loved to be an elf in Rivendell at the departure of the Fellowship, or a child in the caves of Helm's Deep.

If I caould've been an extra in the movies I'd have liked to be an elf or a hobbit. The hobbits seem to have such a good time! Apart from Frodo and chums, of course! Ever since I first saw THE FELLOWSHIP I wanted that cake at Bilbo's party. Did you see the size of it?! I'd like a cake as big as me just like that one for my eleventy-first birthday!

I'd like to be a Rivendell elf, rather than a blondie elf from LothLorien or Mirkwood, simply because I had long blonde hair last year and now it's short and brown and I want to look like Arwen!

Vote Kath for Hobbit! [s]not that we call her that ever[/s] the s's are supposed to strike it out...how do you do that on here?

I'd love to have been in them...especially Rivendell or a rider of Rohan (I'm in love with their horses)

Rumil · 07-12-2005, 01:04 PM

I'd have loved to have been an extra, but last weekend I ran into someone who 'played' a dead Rohirrim at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields.

Apparently he's unrecognisable as, being a dark-haired Italian, he was made up with a blond wig and beard. On a rather bizarre note, one of his friends who had sadly lost an arm in an unfortunate 17th-century-canon-related incident plays one of the Rohirrim who has suffered a similar axe-related demise.

I would love to have been an Half-orc at any Battle, would have loved to have done in a few tree-huggers at Helms Deep.

I just got this image of hippies at Helm's Deep...now that's scary...

Alcarillo · 07-27-2005, 12:37 AM

I would've enjoyed being an extra. Seeing that I'm blond, I could've made a good character just to sit or stand around in Meduseld. I have no idea how to ride a horse, so I couldn't possibly be a rider. I would've liked a fighting part, too, so maybe a soldier at Minas Tirith, or even as an orc.

Elrowen Greenleaf · 08-18-2005, 09:47 PM

I would have loved to have been an extra! Honestly I don't really care if I would be reconisible or not, just let me on the set, in a costume with a weapon! Oh yeah!
I would have wanted to play several parts... an Elf in Rivendell, Lothlorien, and any battle where they show up.

I'd want to be one of the Rohirrim at the Battle of Pelennor Fields (can't beat that charge!), and also at Helm's Deep (if I couldn't be an Elf). At Helm's Deep though, I would want to be one of Eomer's eored.

The Rohirrim may cause a problem, 'cause I am both a girl, and I have brown hair... but that's what wigs and stuff are for. (Trust me... it's harder than one might think to tell the difference between a guy and girl in armor... even without wigs and other makeup.)
