6. Brett MacKenzie Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
OK, this ones a bit strange and is probably the least applicable out of all the roles on this list, but I felt I just had to mention it, if only for the barnstorming lunacy it inspired. If you dont know who Brett MacKenzie is, then shame on you hes a member of New Zealand music-comedy group Flight of the Conchords, who are undoubtedly hilarious and you should totally see them. Now thats out the way, Ill explain what he did in Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring. He was an extra, and thats sort of it. He didnt have any lines, and he just stood at the back of the Council of Elrond scene and looked serious. However, for some reason or another, a large swathe of LOTR fans took to this anonymous elf, with entire fansites and slash fiction epics being struck up in his name. Because he didnt have a name, the fans dubbed him Figwit, an acronym for Frodo is greatwho is THAT? Apparently, it had something to with his photogenic nature the two fans who created the website Figwit Lives believed him to be Legolas for the thinking woman, utterly taken it by his wonderful eyebrows and complexion. It got so bad that he was given an autopgraph card in the LOTR Topps Authentic Autograph range, has a documentary named after him which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival and Peter Jackson eventually gave him two lines in Return of King. The elf who tells Arwen that they cannot delay when shes on her way to the Gray Havens? Yeah, thats Figwit, and now he's in The Hobbit too. Never has a man got so much for doing so little.
