I think I will pass on Leggy. He is TOO pretty, and, in my estimation, too juvenile. I have always been drawn to older men. And, although I really like Elrond, he is married. Even in fantasies, I have a hard time being attracted that way to married guys.

As for Haldir, I think it is the fact that there is little written that makes him attractive. You can form him anyway that strikes your fancy (within reason, of course. I have a hard time with the way a lot of ff portrays him). The same can be said of the other minor characters.

And about the actors, I am never attracted to actors. It is a character I find appealing. Besides, without the props, some of them are just ewww.

I have yet to see most of the actors from LOTR do any read acting. OB, David Wenhem, etc. I have seen Karl Urban in a couple of movies, and he is really pretty good. Ditto Sean Bean, in National Treasure. And Elijah Wood had pretty much established himself before LOTR. So, nope, I will stick with the characters. That was, I never have to worry about some rabid fan police running me down.

Even in the books, Legolas seemed to have more of a feminine side. Then again, all the elves did have the poetry persona.

I dunno - sometimes, I think I prefer my mentally revised character versions to the ones in the books or the movies.

For instance, my Haldir is a lot more.....
