Good for Lee Pace.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I will share this here, as everyone else will just look at me oddly. When I read that news, I thought, "Oh, I love his elbows, but they're not really Elf-King elbows." Because, on Pushing Daisies, I was deeply smitten with his Pie Maker choice of keeping his elbows tucked close to his body to prevent accidental touching. And, of course, I realize that, what with the "actor" thing, he's perfectly capable of changing his physicality to match the character. But, yeah, my automatic response to "Lee Pace" is "Oh, I love his elbows."
A thing which it is best not to say to one's boyfriend.

oh me too. his physicality for that role was really amazing. He's got acting chops for sure.
zLee Pace is Thranduil? Wow. That's... interesting. Huh.
I don't even remember who that is.
The tall one.
hahahaha.
Legolas' dad - the King of Mirkwood.
I don't even remember who that is.
Unsurprising, since he is only onstage (so to speak) briefly in The Hobbit, and the characterization is, well, not much like the Elves of LotR. Thranduil is Legolas' father, the king of the Elves of Mirkwood.
If I were a true Tolkein geek, I would be able to tell you of what type. I do know he's not Noldor, though. Okay, upon reviewing Wikipedia (here), he's Sindarin, at any event.
