ok so I have watched both the LOTR and Matrix trilogies before. I have just recently rewatched Matrix and only after this post have I realised that Elrond and Agent Smith are both portrayed by the same actor...

Watch V For Vendetta next, also Hugo Weaving. In that film, he does an excellent job of portraying emotions from behind a mask. He does a better job from behind a mask than a lot of actors can do with their entire face.

Kate Sackhoff said she really enjoyed the challenge of Bo Katan in season 3 of the Mandalorian for the same reason. Portraying emotions through body language and inflection alone is such a different experience for actors and it takes real talent to pull it off.

This is erudite. Weaving is an international treasure.

If life is a videogame, I'm sure you just unlocked some sort of achievement.

Arwen was 2779 years old. It was practically child marriage.

You should check out Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

I don't even want to admit how many times I watched The Addams Family before I realised that Uncle Fester was Doc Brown.
