OPTION ONE
Halbarad fans! What do you think? Is this an acceptable Movie Halbarad? Bearing in mind how old Aragorn et all are in comparison?
Your opinions please?
OPTION TWO

*frown* He looks a bit youthful to me. Maybe one of Halb's sons...

His eyes are the wrong colour, but other than that nitpick, there's nothing to complain about.
*edit*
That really didn't sound the way I meant it. But if I add any more comments, I'll just get myself into trouble.

First reactions:
Where did this picture come from?
What's he doing in the livery of Gondor?
I'd be more comfortable seeing him mud stained and all.
He'll do; particularly if he's only scenery in an added scene.
Way better than "Imrahil."
So what's the news, if any?

I agree with NancyBrooke, he's in the wrong clothes to be Halbarad. Mablung or Damrod maybe but not Halbarad. If he changed clothes then, yeah, he'd do, not for a big part, but like she said: scenery. Nothing against the actor, he just doesn't fit the part, particularly in that outfit.

My first very honest impression? I thought he looked like Frankestein ... pieced together ... I'm just not a great fan of doctored pictures. His head looks too big for his body, the eyes are the wrong color ... and yes, as mentioned above, the outfit is wrong.
... and he looks a bit startled. Ranger and startled doesn't go very well together.
But hey, it's a matter of personal taste!

Option two much better ... but needs darker hair.
I think I'm being picky  !

Better, but now he's dressed as an ithilien ranger and check out the velvet / satin thing underneath! Certainly more attractive, though.
Where are these things coming from, please?

This guy is Andy Gunn - he was an extra in the movies. Andy has been invited to join the convention circuit and share his experiences with fans. The problem is, the fans have not allocated him a character!
I was thinking he'd be a decent Halbarad based on how he looks compared to Imrahil and Aragorn.
Any thoughts, lassies?

Beregond, maybe?

I didn't vote, but since they are both in clearly Gondorian costume, I wouldn't dub either of them "Halbarad." I'd give them names of Gondorian characters--maybe Ingold for the first one (since he's not a Ranger) and Mablung or Anborn for the second. (IIRC the movies do have a Damrod.)
--Rose
(And P.S., who are they calling Imrahil? It can't be Ian Hughes, since he's officially "Irolas." Have the fans picked another Imrahil?)

IMHO the first one looks more like an elf with cut hair and human clothing than a ranger, and Halbarad at that.
If they had put the grey company in the film and casted him, I would have had a tiny reason to dislike the film.
This is not how I imagine Halbarad!
