<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Quick question... did Túrin have blond hair? phantom, you mentioned being able to play Húrin, and that you have blond hair... I don't know, maybe I missed something in the Sil (which is very likely - I read waaaay too fast), but I'd always pictured Túrin as having dark hair.<BR><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>He did have dark hair, as proved in the following quote from The Silmarillion:<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>...and he was in truth the son of Morwen Eledhwen to look upon: dark-haired and pale-skinned, with grey eyes, and his face more beautiful than any other among mortal Men, in the Elder Days. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>When I first read The Silmarillion, I remember thinking that Turin had blonde hair until I came across that passage. It was then my mental image of him completely changed. <P>As for actors, how about....Johnny Depp? Somehow I can see him playing that role, though perhaps his looks are a little too weathered for Turin.
