Haldad is the first known leader of the Haladin, father of Haleth and Haldar, and grandfather of Haldan. Under his leadership, the Haladin set up a settlement in Thargelion, where they received at least one attack on their people by Sauron. Haldad is KIA in an assault on the stockade in F.A. 385, shortly followed by his son when he came to recover his body, leaving the leadership of the Haladin to Haleth, with the Haladin becoming the House of Haleth.

The Hosts indicate that Haldad should be a man in his late 40s-50s, not the most imposing type.

Demián Bichir sometimes plays a caring father, gruff soldier, or a buffoonish bandit with a seriously sociopathic side. His father's Lebenese and his mother's Mexican. He can also play the piano (extra skill).

Currently, all of the actresses nominated for the role of Haleth fall between 5'2" and 5'5" in height. So, I set out to find a short man to play Haldad, so that he would not be tall compared to his daughter - they should be able to see eye to eye.

Raghuvir Yadav

Height: 5' 3 1/2" !!

At least this clip has English subtitles, though the interactions with the wife in this show (Panchayat) are perfectly amusing - she just exudes disapproval without saying a word.

 
Speaking of not overly tall men....

Raj Zutshi
Age: 60
Height: < 5'5"

He has 100 acting credits and directed Slumdog Millionaire. So, he's not an unknown!

(Third from the left is Raghuvir Yadav , who we know is quite short; Aamir Khan, who is I think the guy in the middle, is only 5'4")

He is the taxi driver in the first 30 seconds of this trailer, and he's speaking English :)
