Legolas Greenleaf
Son of the King Thranduil of Mirkwood, Legolas volunteered to join the Fellowship that would carry the One Ring to Mount Doom.
Where is he from?
Legolas is a character from the granddaddy of all high fantasy novels; J.R.R Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings.
And while he was voiced by Anthony Daniels (of C-3PO fame) in the 1978 Ralph Bakshi animated movie The Fellowship of the Ring...
It was Orlando Bloom's performance as the character in Peter Jackson's epic series of films will always be what cements him as a legend of poster-on-a-teenaged-girls-wall proportions. (Just ignore the later 'made-them-cause-we-had-to' hobbit movies.)
