Maybe that's supposed to be Glorfindel when he was 12 years old. And a girl. 
Yum, now he could be Glorfindel, maybe after a hard ride. Er...that is...
Never mind.

After showing that picture to my friend we've both said the same thing:
Oh, Dear God!!

It's so pretty, though! Just makes you want to pet it and lick it and - what?!
Cute, but he looks more like a kid. NOT Glorfindel! What was the idiot thinking that cast HIM?

Ok a while back on theonering.net they had a thread about this. The elf standing by Elrond at the end of the movie is said to have been Glorfindell. Matter of fact the thread had a link to a site with that guy claiming to be cast as him. He was standing face to face with an orc.
I am sorry, but the kid in that picture is NOT my Glorfindell. To me Glorfindell would be standing beside Elrond and he would show the reaction that the elf did when Arwen went to Aragorn. Almost a father reaction. Which is what that elf had.
I mean I know Elf's are immortal(sp) but give me a break!! They do grow up!! *roll* |

Sandro Kopp is the guy you're referring to, the one standing with Elrond at the wedding. I believe he has been officially redesignated as Gildor Inglorion and will appear as such on a card in Decipher's Shadows expansion, to be released in November.
"Gildor" also appears at the beginning of Arwen's vision scene, in which he is the one leading the procession of Elves through the forest. |

I thought that was his name, but I wasn't sure enough to post that. That stinks. I like him as Glorfindell!!!
I don't know who Gildor Inglorian is. Care to enlighten me? |

Gildor Inglorian is the Elf that Sam and Frodo run into in the woods of the Shire while they're making their way to Crickhollow, prior to setting off for Imladris. It's in the first few chapters of FotR...you could always dig it out and read it again 
Oh, and Glorfindel has one l

Are you sure that Sando is on that decipher card?

I've seen a blurry, from-the-side view of the new card, which was (with Elladan and Elrohir: The Twin Sons of Elrond and Erkenbrand) unveiled at a convention a few months ago. Gildor is a pretty large, imposing elf in this one, and Sandro is a rather tall, imposing guy. From what I saw of Gildor's outfit, it looks like the same one or similar to the one worn in the scene with Arwen's vision, where an elf, probably Gildor, is leading the Elves through the woods. As Sandro played this particular elf, and given what I've seen of the card so far, I have every reason to believe they used him.
Actually, I am more curious to know which actor plays Elladan and Elrohir; it is one actor, as a blurry behind-the-scenes picture was shown with said actor posing for both parts of the image, which involves the twins in mirror poses, studying one of their father's books of lore. Their hair and robes are what you would expect of the sons of Elrond, thought personally I would have preferred two separate cards with two fully armed, fully loaded Elf-lords. |

Well, I don´t care what PJ says. That little boy is NOT the lovely and heroic Glorfindel!  |
I thought the one at the back of Elrond was Glorfindel as well. That’s who I had kinda pictured when writing for Glorfindel. That guy in the picture…for a brief second as I opened that page I thought they were having a joke, and someone had faked a photo of Leonardo di Caprio!

Zimraphel, the reason im asking, is that Sandro was not made Gildor until AFTER Weta designed those cards.
Heather at Argonath arranged with him to rename his section there as Gildor after the Jarl/Glorfindel came out.
It may be that he knew about the card in advance - but he also may not have. I havent had the chance to actually ask him.
As for the Twins - Im hearing rumours that the extras used (extra) is actually a common used extra. Jason Secto is being hinted at - although he refused to tell me if this was right. Also, there is an elf behind Legolas in the coronation scene who i named Melethmir (For Maram!) and his hair and robes match the blurry decipher images... Worth checking out!
If i hear anything for certain, i will let you all know. At the moment, the elf boys are keeping quiet.

Yeah, I thought he would have made a great Balrog-slayer--he's tall, built and got hands big enough to wield a blade.
Moralanqua: I know the whole thing is post-Decipher/WETA, but when you look back on the film, it really does make sense that Gildor should be the one leading the Elves through the woods on their way to the Grey Havens. From the books, I always got the sense that that was Gildor Inglorion's function, to keep the way safe for Elves who wanted to leave Middle-earth. |

Thanks Saralitazie. I remember him now. I had forgot all about him. It's been a while since I read the books. I have been meaning to find the time to reread them.

Ok, my understanding of the thread that was on theonering.com was about the Glorfindell card. Sandro was the guy that was said to be on the Glorfindell card. |
