Hey! It's Lurtz! A proper photo! Signed, to me!!!  


My lovely girlfriend attended a make-up and special effects conference in London, and met Lurtz himself! No, really... the actual actor. The outcome of the meeting? This signed photo, to meeeeee! Thanks to my lovely girlfriend!

He apparently signed it in costume (we have photo's  
), and is extraordinarily tall from what I've seen. Not being in SFX, I didn't attend... but my girlfriend hobnobbed with the make-up bigwigs and had a good time.

YAY! YAY FOR MY GIRLFRIEND!  
She's beautfiul and sooooo coooooool!

The bottom line: One more reason to get a girlfriend

Resistance is not futile, we're gonna win this thing, humankind is too good, we're not a bunch of under-achievers! We're gonna stand up, and we're gonna be human beings. We're going to get fired up about the real things, the things that matter! Creativity, and the dynamic human spirit that refuses to submit.

Cool! ( and  if that had  been, say, Orlando Bloom, or  Elijah Wood, I'd  be  even more  impressed..)
Needless  to say, wow.

Deleted UserWow! These things makes great presents. My mother turns 50 tomorrow and I got her a signed photo by Andy Serkis with personal congratulations. And she doesn't even know I've met him!
He couldn't dress up like in the movie though (for obvious reasons :
) so I guess it was quite a different experience to meet this guy looking like that! We've all heard how the hobbit actors had to get up at four in the morning to get their feet glued on, but this poor fellow had to get up at ten in the evening the day before the filming to put on all of his makeup!


It would be amazing to try a makeup like that sometime and walking around in it just to see people's reaction. Imagine walking in to your boss' office in it and demanding a raise...


And hang on to that girlfriend of yours, MonkeyDude! She seems like an excellent choice.

Might want her to get rid of the white hand print first it doesn't suit her

Umm, how should I put this? There's a few things I think you have misunderstood, Lucien... :

Oh no, I've met her, and I can confirm that it is.  

(sorry Livia! Only joking! Don't impale me!)

Awesome pic, Ben. Very jealous... you've got to love that character - his scenes in film one are highlights (specially the end!)....

Long live real movie make up!

Deleted UserOn a side note, did you notice that one of the orcs in ROTK was a woman?
At least I'm 99% sure. It's the one with the helmet with a skull on it, that appears both when they start firing the catapults and when the black ships arrive. I know they had a woman in the stunt team that did lots of orcs, so I'm sure it was her. I rather liked the idea. Orcs don't have a use for sexes, but why would all have to be male just because of that? I guess it's just because it's as hard to think of female orcs as of female dwarves.

I didn't notice during ROTK, but the copious documentaries on the DVD of TTT confirms it - she was orc-ing away at Helm's Deep with all the lads too.

Lots of the orcs in ROTK were women.

Interestingly, that Lurtz guy plays another key orc in ROTK (that excellent photo is from FOTR).  In ROTK, he's the exceptionally ugly one with the sort of cauliflower-looking head.

Remember, procrastinate now.  Don't put it off!!

Any Tolkienites care to tell us the name of said cauliflower faced Orc? (just out of interest... the Orcs do have great names - my favourite is Grishnįkh)
