PLOT: The third and final part of The Lord of the Rings trilogy tells of the opposing strategies of Gandalf and Sauron, until the final catastrophe and the end of the great darkness. We return first to the fortunes of battle in the West.

ORLANDO'S CHARACTER: Orlando plays Legolas Greenleaf, a Sindarin elf prince from Mirkwood. In general, elves are "noble, elegant, magical beings whose time is running out and who seem to possess a bittersweet sense that they are now about to pass into myth. Although they could be slain or die of grief, elves are immortal in that they are not subject to age or disease" (from lordoftherings.net). He is deadly with his trademark weapon, the bow and arrow - he is equally experienced with knives and swords.
