PLOT: An ancient Ring thought lost for centuries has been found, and through a strange twist in fate has been given to a small Hobbit named Frodo. When Gandalf discovers the Ring is in fact the One Ring of the Dark Lord Sauron, Frodo must make an epic quest to the Cracks of Doom in order to destroy it! However he does not go alone. He is joined by Gandalf, Legolas the elf, Gimli the Dwarf, Aragorn, Boromir and his three Hobbit friends Merry, Pippin and Samwise. Through mountains, snow, darkness, forests, rivers and plains, facing evil and danger at every corner the Fellowship of the Ring must go. Their quest to destroy the One Ring is the only hope for the end of the Dark Lords reign! (Written by Paul Twomey)

ORLANDO'S CHARACTER: Orlando plays Legolas Greenleaf, a Sindarin elf prince from Mirkwood. Legolas joins the ring quest and represents the Elves in the Fellowship. In general, elves are "noble, elegant, magical beings whose time is running out and who seem to possess a bittersweet sense that they are now about to pass into myth. Although they could be slain or die of grief, elves are immortal in that they are not subject to age or disease" (from lordoftherings.net). He is deadly with his trademark weapon, the bow and arrow - he is equally experienced with knives and swords.
