I think that the strange piggish looking orc was meant to be Gothmog. In the book, he was mentioned as the Lieutenant of Mordor who led the army of the Witch-King fell, but he wasn't hardly described at all. Jackson, of course jumped at this and made his own character who lead the orcs. I saw on IMDb that he was played by the same guy who did the Lord of the Nazgul and also Lurtz in the first movie.
