My guess is Aragorn.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>This 'orc' probably will be killed by Aragorn, unless they scrapped one of his death scenes, because:*I watched some hour long thing on NBC on RotK before the movie came out, & they talked about how the (& I quote) 'pink-faced orc' ( ), was played by the guy who played Lurtz. Before that, they showed him being hewn down by Aragorn, so I presume that's how he will be taken out (thankfully), & hopefully not trouble the unhappy RotK viewers any longer. To me, the guy is a classic example of someone letting their imagination run away with. Come on, he's pink! Have we ever seen an orc like him? How did this one orc get to look so different (& incredibly stupid) compared to the other ones? Etc., etc., oh yes, & (as I've mentioned on another thread) he's also equipped with the sterotypical-bad-guy-voice . Just a pathetic character I thought. Surely they can have another roughly normal looking orc to stand out as captain? Look at the leader of the Uruk-Hai in TTT, he stood out pretty well, & yet looked like a 'normal' orc. Just my thought .
