Autographed photo of film actor Orlando Bloom

Orlando Bloom is an English film actor. Bloom gained worldwide fame in 2001 after playing the elf Legolas in Peter Jackson's adventure film The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.

Initially, the actor wanted to play Faramir in the film adaptation of Tolkien's novel. But soon he received a reply in which Jackson said that the role of Faramir eventually went to the Australian actor David Wenham, and in return offered Bloom a much more tempting role — an elf. Legolas. Orlando Bloom performed almost all of his own stunts in the film. He broke a rib while performing one of them.

The actor managed to create a very memorable image of an elf in the film adaptation of The Lord of the Rings. Incredible charisma, charm and the ability to transform into diverse characters are Bloom's main secrets, with which he was able to build a successful career. The role of Legolas earned him several prestigious awards and nominations, and Bloom was named the "male breakthrough of the year" at the MTV Movie Awards. Also, thanks to his character, archery became popular in Britain, but he himself treasured this role very much: he took one of the Rings of the Almighty from the set and even got a tattoo with the word "nine" in the Elven language Tengvar.
