We discussed choosing an actor who looks a bit like JRR Tolkien for the role as this elven linguist loremaster. While it's difficult to find a look-alike, it is possible to find someone with a few featureas in common with Tolkien.
I nominate Tobias Menzies. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0580014/
Here is Tolkien:
Menzies:
Of course, the resemblance will probably disappear totally when the actor puts on a wig or whatever it takes to turn him into an elf.
Anyway, TM is a good, experienced actor. A reasonable option, I think.
