Figwit!

 

Name: Figwit
Real Name: Unknown
Name Origin: Frodo is grea.... Who is THAT!?!?!?!?!
Explanation of name: Figwit was first spotted in the council of Elrond (Fellowship of the Ring) sitting next to Aragorn. When Frodo says "I will take the ring" We are all so impressed we start to think "Frodo is Great" But before we can finish "Figwit" appears on the screen and all we can think is "Who is THAT!!!" (We being us obsessed Figwit fans). And hence his name is forever Figwit!
 

Role in the films:

Fellowship of the ring: In the council of Elrond sitting next to Aragorn (easy to spot, the other side is a empty space). Though unnamed and doesn't say anything, just being in the council makes him important!


Two Towers: He's not in this one.

Return of the King: He finally gets lines!!! He's the one who tells Arwin that they have to hurry to the docks something like "Lady Arwen, we must hurry" and then when she rides of he is the one who calls "My Lady" after her. This shows that Elrond obviously trusts him enough to take care of Arwin (not that she needed it but still....) and therefore reinforces the fact he's important. Also it suggests Figwit has lived in Rivendell for some time or at least has known Elrond for awhile. But it could just mean that he and Arwin are close friends. Maybe he's both!!

Role in the Books: Unknown, mainly because nobody knows his real name.

Actor: Bret McKenzie

Note: There is no such thing as a "good" Figwit picture, as no one has been able to get hold of one. Not really surprising considered how often he appears. it's a pity, he really should have been given a bigger part!
