LEGOLAS. Elf. 25 - 35. Male. Slim, graceful, handsome. A prince of the Wood elves, Legolas is a deadly bowman, who can move with great stealth. Tall, slender and fine-featured, Legolas is physically everything that Gimli the dwarf is not! Legolas sees Gimli as a dour, work-obsessed and humorless curmudgeon. It's the dynamic of the "odd couple": two opposites constantly bickering and bantering, each making jokes at the other's expense. But beneath the veneer of ironic humor Legolas cares very much for those he has pledged to protect and ultimately he and Gimli become fast friends... LEGOLAS IS A KEY SUPPORTING ROLES IN ALL THREE FILMS. APPEARS IN PARTS ONE, TWO AND THREE. ACCENT: BRITISH. PLEASE SUBMIT STAR NAMES. ELROND. Elf. 40 plus. Male Tall, slim, fine features. The Lord of the Elves of Rivendell and the father of Arwen, Elrond has great authority and wisdom, but also humility. He is something of a seer and is troubled by his daughter's love for the mortal, Aragorn, knowing as he does Aragorn's dark destiny. In a wider sense, Elrond feels a great sadness that the age of the Elves is coming to a close - but he does not try to change this fact, accepting it as fate... ELROND IS A CAMEO ROLE WITH BRIEF APPEARANCES IN ALL THREE FILMS. APPEARS IN PARTS ONE, TWO AND THREE. ACCENT: BRITISH. STAR NAMES. GIMLI. Dwarf. 30 - 50. male. A regular-sized person but short and stocky, with broad shoulders, would be preferable. (CG/blue screen will be used to shrink size.) A pugnacious dwarf with a big heart. Gimli is brave and valiant; a warrior to the core, who lives by the warrior's code, he is loyal to the last. Gimli is a boisterous spirit who enjoys poking fun at the Elves, in particular Legolas. Gimli loves wine and women and song and has a hearty sense of humor. Whilst hardly refined, he is capable of appreciating beauty, especially the beauty of well-hewn rock of the mines and tunnels made by his forebears... GIMLI IS A KEY SUPPORTING ROLES IN ALL THREE FILMS. APPEARS IN PARTS ONE, TWO AND THREE. ACCENT: BRITISH. What do you say? joke, real?
