Let me tell you how I came across this name.  Yes, it IS a name.

I had been watching and listening again (gad knows how many times I've watched this) to the cast commentary of The Lord of the Rings:  The Fellowship of the Ring (extended version) while surfing the net about my favorite book and movie.  It's been a year or two since I last visited The One Ring and just going through the links, clicking here and clicking there when a particular photo featuring the Council of Elrond caught my attention.  One of the Rivendell elves looked familiar.  Wasn't that the elf who was escorting Arwen into the forest, preparing to leave for Valinor?  Why yes it is!  Then I saw the question in the caption:  Is this Figwit?

Who?  Excited with a new research, I dug in some more.

(Quoted from FigwitLives!)

This Figwit character had its own fan base, collector's action figure, and a spot on Wikipedia.  Turns out, this name wasn't in Tolkien's books, and only came out in the 1st and 3rd LoTR movies.  The actor was cute, and I was so surprised and caught off guard that I started laughing so hard when I realized who this guy was!.  Can you guess who this is?

(watch the video)

And here he is, without long hair, without gayish-elvish make up, and with a stubbled jaw...

 

Bret McKenzie!!!

Grabe, I couldn't stop laughing talaga.  I really DID NOT expect that.  He is so cute.

Anyway, I know this post is sooo geekoid and those who know what Flight of the Conchords is and is familiar with LotR will be the only ones who can understand what I've been babbling so far.  So I'll leave it to that nalang.  I'm just sharing my smiles.
