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.
Legolas' dad - the King of Mirkwood.

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.

I can totally see Lee Pace as an elf. His bone structure = perfect.
