Would you like to have been an extra in the 3 LOTR films ? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I would have loved to be an extra. Ideally I would want to be an elf from Lothlorien...however I probably would make a better urak-hai with my size and build.

Considering my physical features and being female, I definately would have been a hobbit. I would want to be the hobbit wife who looks sternly at her husband after Gandalf rides by. I think that was so funny (and true of a lot of us wives). And Bilbo's party would have been cool. Or an orc tending to the Uruk-Hai still in their 'birthing sacs', perhaps my maternal instinct?!

In TTT, I would want to be the mother who sent her children on a horse to Edoras. My heart ached at that, she was so brave to let them go not knowing if she would ever see them again.

I know they were not actually seen in the movie, but if they had been, I would have liked to be one of the healers taking care of the wounded. But not Ioreth, she talked too much! So I would be one of the women throwing flowers at the feet of Faramir and company.

Oh, I would've totally been one of the cross dressing Riders of Rohan! Slap a beard on me and put me in a saddle!
I took riding lessons for quite some time, so I would've loved to be in the charge of the Rohirrim!

I would have been and done anything they asked just so long as I got to be in one of them! I'd have loved to be an elf but I think I'm a little short for that, yet too tall to be a hobbit! It would have been great to play an orc though - all that slouching and snarling, and nobody could complain that you were just being a moody teenager, I sense power! Mwahahaha.

Nimrodel_9 · 04-25-2005, 05:31 PM

Heck yes! Especially someone who does stunts!

I wouldn't mind just being someone in the background either. Then I could point myself out to people. Who knows? Maybe I would end up being famous, like Figwit!

I would have loved to be a Gondorian soldier in Minas Tirith or Osgiliath...

THE Ka · 05-06-2005, 08:48 PM

I would love to have been one of those people who were trampled by Gandalf and Shadowfax... Unfortunately, I would most likely be caught on the saddle or clipped.

Either that, or be one of the million odd elves who make Elrond's home look habitable in his worst and usual moods.

Just any part that calls for odd people.

Vote Kath for Hobbit! [s]not that we call her that ever[/s] the s's are supposed to strike it out...how do you do that on here?

I'd love to have been in them...especially Rivendell or a rider of Rohan (I'm in love with their horses)

I'd have loved to have been an extra, but last weekend I ran into someone who 'played' a dead Rohirrim at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields.

Apparently he's unrecognisable as, being a dark-haired Italian, he was made up with a blond wig and beard. On a rather bizarre note, one of his friends who had sadly lost an arm in an unfortunate 17th-century-canon-related incident plays one of the Rohirrim who has suffered a similar axe-related demise.

I would love to have been an Half-orc at any Battle, would have loved to have done in a few tree-huggers at Helms Deep.
