Hello everyone
I don't know for you but I trust PJ and I'm positive that he will find the perfect actor to play Thranduil, when he films The Hobbit. Key Word here: WHEN
lol

Hi  !
I just thought that the guy who I think played Glorfindel at the reunion of Arwen and Aragorn at the end of ROTK would be the perfect Thranduil. He looks like the older, more mature yet incredibly handsome elf who has still has to look after his wayward and HOT son.
If any of you happen to fing this actors name, please tell me who it is!
Kudos.

| I'm currently writing a story that features Thranduil and I had trouble with his character until I started imagining him as a blond Alan Rickman... it's that sexy voice! |

I voted for Jason Isaacs - he's exactly how I've always imagined Thranduil to look, and he already has the hair down pat as Lucius Malfoy! He has a very low, slow way of speaking that I imagine would be appropraite for another elf. Really very gorgeous...

Elandriel, you have good taste  I did base my Thranduil on him originally, I have to say, but now I'm seeing him more as my pre-death Witch King for the fic I'm writing (in the Malfoy get-up still). JI's very good at 'evil' (seen the Patriot?  )
Actually Elektra comes out next week here at the cinema and I happened to spot him in the trailer, so I shall be off to see that. (Never seen Daredevil, so probably won't understand it mind).

I must admit, given the makeup for HP, I can see him as Thranduil too. I like the voice too. Though I'd worry that he would be too evil for the role (cause he does do evil well). Thranduil isn't an evil guy and my worst nightmare with PJ doing the Hobbit is him misinterpreting Thranduil's character. PJ would not like dealing with those of us in the Anti Evil!Thranduil group if he were to make that mistake. Angry!Thranduil, ok--after all the dwarves crashed his party and he was obviously angry. Even ScaryThreatening!Thranduil. That might be fun. But just plain Evil!Thranduil? I certainly hope not.

Maybe that's what shifted me from thinking of him as Thranduil for my stuff. Don't know.
If you want to see JI as non-evil though, watch Sweet November. Can't really take him seriously after seeing him in a dress

I think he was off the radar when we started this thread, but I've heard folks suggest Luke Goss
http://www.filmpeek.net/images/luke-goss-tekken-role1.jpg
and I think he'd be an excellent choice. Good physicality, good looks, used to being in makeup for half a day...  |

Tbh, none of them match the Thranduil I've seen in my head. Yeah, tall and strapping is a good start, and of course blond, but maybe its my Germanic roots coming out here or something, but the Thranduil in my head has a very square jaw and deep-set eyes... none of the above isn't a poll option, though.

Yes, please! Unless they really surprise me with someone even better, I'll be very disappointed if it's not him. Hellboy 2 was a very enjoyable movie all around, but I have a very specific reason for enjoying as much as I do.

| I voted for Jason Isaacs. Can definitely see him as an elf. In fact the first time I saw him in HP I thought he kinda looked like one. |

I could see Julian Sands, I think, but I do like the one Viv suggested...
do.

I agree. In general, Elves need to have that difficult combination of age and youthfulness. Not that I would recommend them, but Brad Pitt or Robert Redford have that, for example.

A stare that can bore through concrete and a tiny, supercillious sneer...
Oh, yeah, baby!
Nice find, Viv.
