I'v also read that he only became an actor because he wanted girls to see him Don't like people who do that! He is a hot guy, he don't have to be an actor to be seen...
not true! trust me....that has been a rumor forever and orlando said it himself it wasn;t true. i thought orlando did a great job as legolas. although i havn;t read the books and do no know what legolas is like...but he seemed to be like his actions speek more than his words. And expression is hard to do....he made it just right. now im not trying to get defensive and i dont want to because everyone has a right to their own opinion...that was mine

lol. I just posted my thoughts on another thread about orly playing legolas so i won't go into detail here, i'll just say this: orlando bloom is one of the worst actors ever, he is absolutley pathetic! he is and has been pathetic in everything i've seen him in: LotR, PotC and ned kelly (ok, so i turned ned kelly off after i'd seen abit of him)
No offence to orly fans but he is rubbish!

i thought he was fine...i mean, his part was small so it didn't ruin the movie in any way. besides, i don't know a whole lot about actors, so i wouldn't know who would've been better. but that's just me, i'm always neutral.

I couldn't think of anyone else to play Legolas. And I'm glad that it's too late to find another one! But well. It should be someone who looked like Orlando ... No, honestly. Orlando is so perfect for that role!

Nah.. Johny Depp's too good an actor to play a small part like that. Esspecially a character who appartently ( though I think this might be just be people trying to excuse OB's acting) is not meant to feel emotions.
But I agree that Anakin in AOTC would have been good.

I'm not a huge fan of Orlando Bloom, but I'll stick up for him a bit. This was his first huge acting role, so that might've been why he didn't do such a good job. I do think the writers made a mistake when they chose his lines. He does seem stupid, and that's not how Legolas seemed in the books at all. I also agree that Orli's eyes should've stayed brown, though Legolas's true eyes are blue. I think one of the reasons that Orlando was chosen was because he looked "delicate" and he had high cheekbones...only my opinon, I'm sorry if I've offended anyone...

Of course they do! Why would Arwen be crying all the time if Elves didn't feel emotion? l

I agree with you it's just I've heard lots of people say that Legolas is not meant to show his emotions. That might just be Legolas though not elves in general. But as I've said I think this is just an excuse for OB's acting

YEAH!! anikan sky walker! he is perfect! No, I disagree. I thought the guy who played Anikan Skywalker didn't even do that well in Star Wars. How could you expect him to do well in Lord of the Rings???

Yeah, I totally agree! I mean, Gimli is the funny 1, aragorn is the real figther (the others 2, but that's not the piont... ) and Legolas shows off a little bit... I think he's pretty sexy while he's surfing down on that shield... So cute!!
