"Craig Parker was a quiet, home-loving actor from the clean, green land of New Zealand. Not that much different from a Hobbit, except taller and without the hairy toes. To maintain his need for clothes, shoes and chardonnay, Craig played numerous roles in theatre, film and television. Life was good. Unfortunately, after playing demi-gods, Bellerophon in Xena and Lucius in Young Hercules, Craig's ego went mad and he started insisting on only playing immortal characters. Thankfully, Mr. Peter Jackson took pity, stuck a blond wig on him and cast him as Haldir in Lord of the Rings. And so he would have lived happily ever after, had not he pushed in front of Mr Jackson in the lunch queue and, strangely, that very afternoon, the script changed to have Haldir lead a troupe of elves into Helms Deep only to suffer an Urk-hai axe in the back and a slow, lingering death in the arms of Aragorn. Craig currently lives in London where the shoes are fantastic." [Note from the webmistress: For now Craig is back in NZ, of course.]
