The latest thing in which I've seen Michael Praed was the TV series the Secret Adventures of Jules Verne, which was shot in the late 90's. It was in a genre I think is called steam punk.
I think I was the only one who really enjoyed it, though, as only the one season was ever filmed.

As someone mentioned earlier, John Rhys Meyers would make a perfect elf.
He also played Steerpike in the BBC production fo Goremghast.
I'll see if I can get this image to work.
In case that doesn't work, the picture is here.

I always think of him as Celegorm, the third son of Feanor.

You know what? John Rhys Meyers is definately my mental image of Maeglin. Dark piercing eyes, looks good in black and has The Cheekbones. (caps intended)

I have some.
Im using Jenson Ackles as my Aegnor and Jim Caviezal as my male elf image in most of my fics.
To me - spike IS NOT Thanduil. I hate that pic. Sorry Gals! Eliza at the Laire makes the best Thranduil images IMO - see my gif avvie for an example.
Julian Sands makes a decent version too... |

How about James McAvoy from Children of Dune?
I think he looks pretty damn cute - maybe one of the twins. |

There's a THUD inducing man if ever I saw one.
I think I'd cast him as one of Finarfin's sons, though; either Angrod or Aegnor.
I tend to prefer the elves of the Silmarillion.

What a fun thread! Don't know how I missed it. There are some really excellent choices here. I'm not good at doing pictures, but I think Michelle Pfeiffer would have made a good Galadriel. And Angelina Jolie might make a dark-haired one. I agree that Beart or Binoche or ANYONE would have been better for Arwen than Liv, but my sixteen-year-old son thinks she's great in the role. I think it's the overbite........ 
If we can include dead people, then I think that Grace Kelly would have been a good Galadriel. And is there any doubt that Audrey Hepburn was an elf?
As for the guys, no quarrels with any of them, except Praed and that's only because he'll always be my Faramir in my heart....... |

ok, can i just say, :whew:
too many beautiful people on this thread! need to cool off somehow!
ok, if we can do dead people, we can also do older people who would have killed audiences in their younger days.
barbara streisand? richard gere?
also, james marsters cheekbones classify him as elf material, but i always saw him as sidhe (greg bear). have no idea why tho

| I know this thread is about people who look like elves. But what about people who sound like elves. What were elf voices like? Everytime I listen to Clannad (yes I am showing my age) I image that elves would sing like that - especially the male ones. |

And how did I forget these folks? It's Nazgul Dan's fault; he's being distracting again...
Valentino as Feanor
Errol Flynn as Gil-Galad |

Liv Tyler actually bears more than a passing resemblance to Liz Taylor.
