Orlando Bloom

I love that monster Hypes.

SPeaking of LOTR actors, does anyone agree that Daniel Day Lewis would have made a great Aragorn?

 

[Hypes]

He loves you too, Peter.

I can't imagine Lewis as Aragorn, but he is an amazing actor- far superior to Mortensen.

I can't imagine Lewis as Aragorn, but he is an amazing actor- far superior to Mortensen.

The thought occured to me when I was watching him in Last of the Mohicans. He sure is a great actor - it is a shame that he doesn't do much anymore.

Lewis is one of the best actors around today, and does not get anywhere near enough acclaim for his work. Mortensen made an excellent Aragorn, and he appeared to wrok harder than any of the other actors on this film. He made up for his lack of talent in sheer hard work, and sometimes you get the same result.

 

[Hypes]

I agree. He is very tenacious, and it shows. However, his other films are too lackluster to even be saved by that. He's a B film actor that won the lottery.

 

[Lacedaemonian]

He was in a great film with Wes Snipes, I forget its name.

 

[Hypes]

I haven't seem him collaborating with Snipes. Can't see any matching movies on IMDb, either.

 

[Lacedaemonian]

He use to be called Victor Mortensen if that helps. Was it called Dead/Drop Zone or something 80's and beautiful like that!

 

[Hypes]

Though Wesley Snipes played in Drop Zone, Mortensen didn't.

 

[Lacedaemonian]

Boiling Point 1993.

 

[Hypes]

Yep, that's the one.

 

[The Master™]

Daniel Day Lewis as Aragorn??? HAHAHAHA!!

The ultimate method actor!!! He'd have to get into the mindset of an 86 year old who comes from a race of long-lived men...

He'd have to learn about the love of a man for an elf...

No, I think he'd end up blowing a gaskit!!!

 

[Hypes]

I had the exact same thought.

He can be pretty extreme- walking on glass. :|

I actually thought Mortensen did a decent job of Aragorn in LOTR - but the casting of Orlando Bloom always threw me. The moment he started to do anything on screen I figured he must surely have only got the part because of high-powered relatives, rather than anything connected to the concept of an audition. Just seen him in Piraets of teh Caribbean and he's even more stilted in that. His voice isn't an accent - it's just the fake thoratic sounds actors use from over-acting their voice (ie, non-natural) - and he just doesn't know what to do with his hands. Absolutely no experssion of personality either. How did Orlandao Bloom get into film? I have no idea. I hope he's enjoying himself and treauring the moments, but I really don't see him getting any sustained work. Anyone know if his parents aer high-powered execs producers or bankers?

Let's face it, Orlando Bloom is pure eye candy....oh with a nice accent to boot. Beyond that, he doesn't give much to a movie.
