Legolas-gorgeous, swift, light-footed, and very elven in his essence. Now that I am deep into the book, I think that he was one of the toughest characters to portray without being campy. Bloom avoided that nicely. <BR>My other favorite (besides Boromir, of whom much has been said-I think this was Sean Bean's best acting to date!)?-Gandalf! Ian McKellen was both kindly and stern, good-natured and strong-willed, humorous and grave. What an amazing, subtle, yet entirely convincing actor!
