The first actor to be presented in
HOLLYWOOD SPY's
HIDDEN GEMS section (introducing cool actors we've been seeing a lot in many movies and shows but they aren't mega popular yet)
is Fiji born actor from New Zealand
Craig Parker. He is interesting because it seems he's always getting royal or godly roles, constantly portraying charismatic and authoritative characters. After playing demi-gods in "
Xena" and "
Young Hercules" he kept on playing immortal or magical figures.
Peter Jackson has given him the role of the brave elven army leader
Haldir from
Galadriel's kingdom of
LotLorien who dies in the arms of Aragorn in the battle against Uruk-hais. But after playing the good guy with a blond wig, he decided to become naughty and dark-haired, so he accepted the role of now famous
Darken Rahl, the main villain in "
The Legend of the Seeker". This year we will be watching him as a charming and strict Roman general
Glaber in another historical project "
Spartacus: Blood and Sand". He's obviously like a chameleon so it's almost impossible to recognize him as the same person under the mask and costume of "Seeker's"
Darken Rahl, "LOTR's"
Haldir, "Underworld's"
Sabas or "
Spartacus'" Glaber.
