Line 177:
* Sam, the [[Creepy Child]] in ''[[Trick 'r Treat]]''.
* The title doctor in ''[[The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus]]''.
* In the ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' films, like the books, many characters are [[Older Than They Look]], but the elves are all hundreds or thousands of years old. Elrond, for example, is featured in the opening prologue, which happens three thousand years before the story proper starts. When he appears again later on, he looks exactly the same.
** Galadriel, as explained in the books, is a lot older; she's the only elf remaining in Middle-Earth who is mentioned before the first rising of the Sun, over 6000 years ago. She's played by Cate Blanchett who was in her early 30's at the time of filming.
** Legolas is the youngest elf to have a significant role in the books, and one ambiguous remark implies that he's more than 500 years old.
