I love Kiwi actors, they're just so funny. xD
Random silliness from ye ol' Internet.
This is Mark Ferguson and Craig Parker, New Zealand actors/comedians that played King Gil-Galad and Haldir respectively in the LOTR trilogy movies. They host Ring Con and the Fellowship Festival (I dunno if those two are considered the same thing ^^; ) every year.
Anyways, they're hilarious people. :p I used to have so many videos of them but they've been deleted. Amongst some of the things they've done, they've acted out an entire story about Legolas using mime, spoke to a little kid who told them his sister has named a hamster after Haldir, acted out both Gil-Galad and Haldir's deaths, and basically did unspeakable things to each other on stage with very little shame.
This is them doing the "we can't move our bodies and audience members have to move us" sort of game. For some bizzare, unholy reason, Mark heard an audience member suggest Arwen and Gollum for two interacting characters. Craig is an expert at imitating Gollum and is freakishly good at doing the voice, but both him and Mark are hard to hear without the mikes.
Which is fine, 'cause what they end up doing with their bodies is more than a little funny. xD
And yet another random, silly one involving Mark, Craig and Joel (who played one of the Orc lieutenants.) Craig jumping around on stage is so hilarious, haha. And in case you're wondering why he flops over dead, it's 'cause Gil-Galad was filmed being killed in a fight with Sauron during the Last Alliance but it wasn't shown in the movies. And Mark's fake Oscar speech is hilarious! LOL.
By the way, ANY LOTR fan should watch this. I don't know which special edition of which movie it's from, but it's one of the funniest behind the scenes footages I've ever seen from the trilogy. Basically, Sala (Sauron) headbutts Orlando (Legolas) and almost knocks him out. The entire story surrounding that event is just ridiculous but funny. xD And it's all Viggo's (Aragorn) fault.
*SIGH* I know RingCon is in like... Germany or something. Wish I could go. :( Especially with the Hobbit movies coming up... I'd love to give Craig or Mark a hug. ^^; And tell them that Tolkien was mean to kill off Gil-Galad and PJ was even meaner by making up a death scene for Haldir. ;_;
