Otherwise known as Legolas. The Lord of the Rings are my all time favorite movies and he did a great job as Legolas. I also liked him in Pirates of the Carribean, but not as much. I don't think he is a great actor but is just slightly above mediocre.

He has yet proven anything to me. The young girls sure love him.

He also seems to be popular with gay men too. I have a friend who is gay and he thinks he's one of the most beautiful men on screen right now. But, can he act? In Lord of the Rings I thought he did a good job, I didn't see Kingdom of Heaven and in Elizabethtown I thought he did a horrible job. So, maybe the jury is still out on that question.

I think Orlando Bloom is destined for character roles. He has proved he does not have the stuff to carry a movie, witness KINGDOM OF HEAVEN & ELIZABETHTOWN.

It's been a tough year for Orlando with the back-to-back flops of KINGDOM & ELIZABETH and recent article in "The New York Times" A&L section highlighting why he is not a movie star.

Orlando is laughing all the way to the bank, however, as he is inked for a total of $11M to act in two PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN sequels that are shooting simultaneously.
