"Let’s be clear: this is a character who is neither good nor bad. He is not a villain, but it is true that in [An Unexpected Journey],
he refuses to help the dwarves . On the other hand, put yourself in his place: would you go to protect a race that is not yours
and risk your life for an unfamiliar cause? He is a great warrior; he is immortal, and he just seeks to protect his kingdom, Kingdom of The Elves.
He fought in the past against the dragons and he knows how hard it is to kill them. So when the dwarves come to seek his help,
he refuses to give them a helping hand… with a sword. [laughs] What is also fascinating to me is how my character controls his
strength and power. He never abuses his power and does not show it, although we are going to see in the third film that he knows
how to fight, and I had to face quite some scenes of action!" -- Lee (x)

"Ask me what has been the biggest challenge in playing this role [Thranduil] and I’d have to say that it’s been walking up the stairs to
my throne in the gold robe. I don’t think there is a single take where I’m not treading on it and falling over. It is less than
impressive when you are trying to look calm and regal and you keep tripping on your frock!" -- Lee (x)

Any ideas for a thread title?

Err titles, so not my strong point.

Anyone else an idea?

I'm no good with titles either

I'm having Lee Pace withdrawals! I miss this guy on my tv screens every week. This time last year is when I met him and did my best not to show how much he was making me swoon.

I honestly can't wait for the hobbit. I really hope Lee is joining Richard Armitage and martin freeman at comic con this weekend and the panel pops up on you tube.
