Orlando Bloom

The West - Enedwaith

Orlando Bloom

"Legolas is a very interesting guy. The Elves were created by Tolkien to be the magical and mystical race, capable of almost anything in terms of their abilities. They have super human strength, their reflex speed is incredible, their sensory awareness is amazing and they are immortal; they're ageless. For all intents and purposes, Legolas has all these special qualities: He's a warrior, he's an archer and he becomes the eyes and ears of the Fellowship really. If there's danger around, Legolas is the first to be aware of it to let Aragorn know or the Fellowship know. He comes in half-way through the movie and offers his bow at Rivendell to Frodo for his quest so he's quite a cool little dude, really." - Q & A with Orlando Bloom <www.undergroundonline.com>

"That really freaks me out. That many people taking interest is scary. The Internet is a scary thing. I'm a complete technophobe, which is why I don't have e-mail. My mom wants me to start ... an official Web page." - Actor Orlando Bloom Tops Lord of the Ring searches on Lycos.com - Canadian Press
