Orlando was ecstatic. He had made it through his last year at Guildhall; and it was two days before graduation when he found out he got the part of Legolas in the trilogy, “Lord of the Rings”. He couldn’t believe his luck. He was so nervous when they had called him back to audition for the part of Legolas. He had been disappointed when he didn’t get the part of Faramir that he had originally auditioned for, but he just wasn’t right for the part he guessed. But who cares!! This was a core character to the movies, which meant… he would have a lot more exposure, a lot more lines, and a heck of a lot more to do!
He had talked to Peter Jackson when he had his last audition about his heart transplant, and asked that only the medical people would have knowledge of that fact. He didn’t want his co- stars to think him weak or pity him. He also talked about that there may be some things he could not do. Which to his relief Peter (the director, like we don’t know!) didn’t have a problem with that. In fact, he had told Orlando that he had admired his courage to finish what he had started, in spite of the obstacles of his surgery. He had said he would gladly work with Orlando, he was so very perfect for the part of Legolas.
Orlando had immediately called his mom and sister after talking to his agent and told them of the good news, They were both very happy for Orlando, his mom was a little worried about all the activities he would have to participate in, but he had assured her that Peter was aware of the situation and they would have a double if there were to be any dangerous stunts. They were both so very proud of him.
After he had retuned home from America, his mom and sister both had babied him so much he thought he would be sick, and he was so glad when he got to go back to school, and be away from the constant mothering and nitpicking! He loved them very much, but it was a little wearing on his nerves after awhile.
It was during his time in London, at school, that he had written his letter to the family of the donor, who had given him his heart. It was a difficult letter to write when he actually got down to the process of writing it. It had taken him over a week to write the things that he had wanted to say and it really wasn’t all that long of a letter, he just wanted to make sure he had said the right things, in the right way. But he also wanted to make it clear how grateful he was and how he would live his life to the fullest and be sure to make a difference in the world.
He had sat nervously on a park bench beside the mailbox for some time before he actually had the courage to drop it into the box. But when he did, he felt a sense of relief flood over him that he was glad he finally did it. It was finally done. He had mailed the letter. He wished he could have told the family about his plans for his life. That he wanted to become an actor. He wanted to tell them about his mom, his sister. But he knew he shouldn’t. He had done what he had set out to do and that was to thank them. But there never really could be anyway that he could really thank someone for what they had given up for him. How could anyone?
*******************************************
When he had finally made it to New Zealand, he had immediately bonded with the four hobbits as they had become known. But still he had not told them about his surgery. He wanted to keep it a secret. Not because he was ashamed, but he didn’t want them to feel awkward and he didn’t want to feel awkward, he just wanted to fit in, just to be normal.
He was still very self-conscious of his scar though, and made sure that none of his co -stars would be in the position to see it. His elf costume hid most of what he had done, but it was in between times that were the most difficult, when they wanted to go party and surfing and other outdoor activities. He had always worn a t-shirt, black preferably and they constantly were teasing him about it. But he endured it and just told him he had a thing about his chest. They teased him for a while about not having a manly chest, and then finally they let it go and accepted him for who he was, because everyone loved Orlando. They just couldn’t believe how loving and full of life he always was, he was like the Energizer Bunny, he keep going and going!
Things had been going pretty smoothly for a month or so and they were getting ready to begin shooting the movie finally. But something happened that nobody had expected. Stuart Townsend, the man that was to play Aragorn, had a hard time wrapping himself around his character, and Peter decided to let him go. At least that was what he had heard. Now what would they do, he thought? He had liked Stuart a lot. But things happen and he said his goodbyes and said he would stay in touch.
He sat in his trailer the next day after the Stuart had left, reading The Two Towers, and Sean Bean came in and sat across from him on the other couch. “Hey Orli.” He smiled letting out a loud yawn.
“So what’s the scoop Beanie? Who are they going to replace Stuart with?” He asked anxiously, placing his book on the table.
“Well, from what I’ve heard, they are trying to get Viggo Mortensen to take the role,” he replied as he leaned back on the couch placing his hands behind his head.
“I think I’ve heard of him,” Orlando said thinking about the name.
“Yeah, he’s a real great actor, I have not had the opportunity to work with him. But I think I heard also, that they were having some trouble trying to talk him into it.”
“Not wanting to come all the way to New Zealand?” Orlando asked. “It’s going to be a long shoot.”
“Nah, I think its something to do with a death in the family a couple years ago or a year ago, he’s had a hard time of it, not wanting to work or even leave his home. Must be rough for him still.”
“Oh,” Orlando replied after a moment with a soft sigh. “I guess I can understand that.” He softly ran his hand down his chest feeling the slight raise of the scar underneath his shirt.
“Yeah, must have been pretty tough on the guy, don’t know the specifics though,” he got up and looked around. “Hey where’s my tea?’ He looked over to Orlando. “Did you drink my tea elf?” he asked placing his hands on his hips giving Orli a stern Boromir look.
“Sorry Beanie,” he said with a laugh. “It just smelt sooooo good, I just had to have it.”
Sean looked at him sternly for a few seconds and then broke out laughing. “You’re alright Orlando, even if you are a Southern softy.”
“Ya Northern Bastard you!” he yelled as Sean headed out the door. Well he thought, I wonder what movies this Viggo guy has done? He got up and shuffled through his music putting in a U2 CD.
Seconds later, Elijah came bounding though the door. “Orli my man,” he said and slapped him upside the head.”
“Hey, watch the hair,” he yelled back.
“Aw…. the pretty elf going to have his hair all messed up?” he teased sitting down on the floor in front of him laughing.
“You know how they are in make-up about these wigs, they cost thousands of dollars,”he answered trying to smooth the golden locks back to the way they were.
“So what’s new?” he asked as he watched Orlando fix his hair.
“Oh, not a lot,” he said wrinkling his nose. “ I was just talking to Beanie, he mentioned something about the guy to replace Stu.”
“Oh hell yeah, I heard they are trying to get Viggo Mortensen, wow that would be sooo cool,” he said excitedly.
“Ya know him?” Orlando asked curiously, more now then ever.
“Well…. not personally, but I’ve seen several of his movies and some of them were quite revealing!” he laughed wiggling his eyebrows up and down.
“What’s that mean Lij?” he asked as he sipped on Beanies tea.
“I mean…revealing,” he said with a shitty- faced grin.
Orlando looked dumbly at him. “What, like showing his chest or something?”
Elijah let out a deep sigh, “Okay Orli, I know you’re kind of new at this, so I will give you a hint.” He thought for a moment and then grinned.
He stood up and slowly started taking his shirt off. Orlando looked at him shocked. “What the hell are you doing mate?’ he asked as his eyes got big as saucers, nearly as big as Elijah’s big blue ones.
“What’s it look like?” he asked as he took off his pants and stood there in just his boxers.
“It looks like your about to get naked and I have no idea why,” he said with a gulp. He really didn’t find Elijah attractive but when he started to remove his clothes… he got rather nervous and wondered if Elijah knew he was gay. He hadn’t told anyone, but sometimes things were just kind of obvious.
“Do I need to keep going or are you going to guess?” he asked with a wicked grin on his face. He had never seen Orli blush so much since he had known him.
“Ya give?” he asked as he went to pull his boxers off.
“Nude!” Orli yelled out suddenly. He did a nude scene!” he blurted out before the boxers revealed too much, at least too much that he really, really, did not want to see. Well, at least on Elijah.
“Very good Orli,” he laughed and pulled his waistband backup. “Took you long enough though,” he added. “Your kind of slow!” he laughed.
“So this Viggo guy, did a movie, and he had a nude scene? What did they show his ass?” He asked his curiosity getting the best of him, he was now leaning forward and listening intently.
Elijah laughed, “Orli come to my place tonight and we will watch the movie together, and you can see for yourself, okay?”
Orlando nodded numbly. Who is this guy he thought to himself? He was almost eager to go over to Elijah’s now. He had to know what this Viggo guy looked like. Nude!
