Orlando Bloom

Orlando Bloom, born in 1977, emerged from the shadows of British theatre to international stardom as the elfish archer Legolas in Peter Jackson's "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy. His role as Will Turner in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series further cemented his status as a leading man, earning him comparisons to Errol Flynn. Bloom's versatility is on display in a range of roles from the historical drama "Troy" to the war film "Black Hawk Down," and the fantasy series "Carnival Row." His humanitarian work, including his role as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, adds depth to his public persona.
