| Orlando Bloom Bio:
He was born in 1977 Canterbury, Kent.
Orlando Bloom's plans of
becoming an actor developed quite early, when he
realized that "Superman" Christopher Reeve was an
actor. At age 16 he joined th National Youth Theater,
getting himself a scholarship to train
with the British American Drama
Academy. And then joined the
London's Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
In 1993, he moved to London to improve his
career, doing bit parts in TV series like "Casualty" or
"London's Burning". His first memorable appearance, a
cameo in the critically acclaimed movie Wilde (1997),
earned him - only 20 years old by that time - various film
offers, which he all turned down in favor to play theater
for about three years. On stage, he appeared in plays like
"The Seagull", "Twelfth Night", and "Trojan Women".
Peter Jackson then "discovered" the classically handsome
Bloom for his much hyped Lord Of The Rings (2001)
trilogy in 1999. After doing these three movies with Jackson,
he's working with Ridley Scott on Black Hawk Down
(2002), and with Mark Mylod on Chequered Past
(2002).

Legolas Bio
Prince Legolas is son of King Thrandull of the Woodland Realm and of the Elven race.
As an Elf he is an immortal of 2,931 years of age, he knows of Strider and his true identity. Like with
many elves he has a distrust of Dwarves (And likewise dwarves of elves). Ironically it is with Gimli the Dwarf that
he forms the closest friendship. As an Elf he has the preternatural ability to move more lightly
across the ground and able to run swiftly and effortlessly across the roughest terrain. As a forest Elf
he has the special ability to scan any environment and see with greater clarity and distance and detect even the smallest detail.
Legolas is a superb and deadly shot with an Elven longbow. He is sent to Rivendell to represent all Woodland elves and is chosen to
be among the 'Fellowship'.
