i thought the role of legolas suited orlando every much and he did a pretty good job as an elf. Now that i've seen lotr, i cant really see anyone else in this role.

well you're not very open-minded. that was quite a simple role to play with minimal lines and many actors can easily pull that one off.

Besides Bloom's Legolas was quite pooly played anyway. Most of the time his facial expression said 'hail, danger!', and had none of the wisdoms elves are suppose to have. The reason you can't think of anyone else for the role is probably because with all that makeup he has a fairly elven look about him. Doesn't mean it took any skill to play it.

Oh and Keira Knightley is great. Not the best actress but she is a damn pretty girl, I especially liked her in Love Actually

Like, see Johnny pre POTC, He was pretty quiet...livin in France and all a quiet achiever. But hes now v. popular cos ppl are realising how damn great he is. Like the academy. i read an interview When he was 21 and hes sayin stuff bout wantin to be a really good actor. His nomination, i think, was great because it would have let him kno that he has made it; he is great.
Yeah the roles that Johnny chose were obscure. But Orlando's roles aren't anymore spectacular than Johnny's. They are both good looking, so why is it that Orlando got noticed so early in his career?
There's still some other talented but obscured actors (Jared Leto, Paul Bethany) They may not necessary be as hot as Johnny but I think its not fair that Johnny gets more recognition than them when their performances are just as superior, if not better. Jude Law used to be in Johnny's stituation but since the gossips with him and Nicole (and that cringe-worthy movie Cold Mountain) he's just like another moviestar.

don't get your hopes up. i doubt his girlfriend, Vanessa Paradis, would ever leave him. i mean, who would? you'd be crazy to!! this is what she had to say:

"We are -- however you want to call it -- engaged, married, in love forever. Whether we signed a paper or not, we are married."

Winona Ryder and Kate Moss must be kicking themselves now for ever leaving him!
LOLs, the funny thing was that Johnny was so crazy in love with Winona that he got a tattoo that said "Winona Forever". (It's removed now)

haha...since im sort of a orli fan...i dont want to say bad things about him...but me saying the role of legolas (elves are usually pretty emotionless) suited him was because it was quite simple with minial roles and facial expressions...erh...not saying anymore...i dunno...orlando did ok...his still pretty charismatic on screen

i dont think johnny only started getting recognition now...he is a pretty well known name ages ago...but yeh...i do think he looks much better with a tan rather than that pale look but in all his movies he has this great presence when ever he appears on screen

he changed the tatoo to 'Wino Forever' lol

it's not really about the roles that Orlando played, it's more about the movies he's been in. so far he has been in a pretty impressive line of films that will surely look good on his resume. e.g. Black Hawk Down, Ned Kelly, LOTR, POTC, Troy etc. he's in hot demand at the moment.

Johnny chooses more artistic type roles and usually shuns blockbuster movies with POTC being an exception. he's been offered leading man roles numerous times and even got offered to star in Speed but rejected it! it's sort of ironic though, he didn't expect POTC to be such a big hit and is still overwhelmed by it. he was so shocked the first time he saw the trailer.

simmic - he was sorta well-known before but not that much. most people are like Johnny who? or what movie was he in?

look at me blabbing on..im obviously ridiculously obsessed with him! or maybe its due to the lack of interesting threads in here..

but when you think about it orlando doesn't have nearly as much experience as jonny. he may be a better actor than you think.
Orlando was a little wooden in potc...but definately better than hayden Christensen in Star wars: episode 2

But if you're a Johnny fan, you gotta see it. It's fucking funny, it was one of his first movie.

And that chick with the scary face was so damn creepy!

shut up you...Johnny does not look horrible in real life. that's an overstatement. yeah sure, he may be scruffy and unkempt at times but that's because he's not one of those men who spend hours obsessing over their looks. what's the term for it? and he isn't exactly the most best dressed person in Hollywood either. he's still a babe underneath it all and at least he had his gf to clean up his image at the oscars. from what ive heard (from fans and actors alike), he looks incredible in the flesh.

i have to admit, i wasn't a fan of his scruffy bleached hairdo but thank goodness chopped it all off.

Do you mean "Secret Window"?

He's going to be playing Willy Wonka. I'd go see it when it comes out, but I hate Oompa Loompas.
