10 Roles of Lee Pace

This is the second story of the "10 Roles" series. The previous one: 10 Roles of Benedict Cumberbatch Lee Pace is mostly known by the fabulous permomances as Thranduil in three "The Hobbit" movies and as Ronan The Accuser in "Guardians of the Galaxy" (2014). Even though he hasn't actually gained mass popularity, Lee was twice nominated for Golden Globes for his on-screen perfomances in "Soldier's Girl" (2003) and "Pushing Daisies" (2007-2009). Even as a talented actor, perfect on stage and on screen, it can be a struggle to get good parts. Sometimes Lee can be seen playing supporting or leading roles in badly reviewed movies like "Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part II" (2012), "Marmaduke" (2010), "Ceremony" (2010), and it's not getting any better after "The Hobbit". At least "Revolt" (2017) is a charity movie... So, I admit I had to add two short movies to the list to have "10 roles".

Calpernia Addams - Soldier's Girl (2003). Sweet and young Lee plays a transgender showgirl who falls in love with an US Army soldier

Aaron Tyler - Wonderfalls (2004). Lee plays a bit selfish but charming brother of the main heroine - a girl, who is suffering from strange but funny hallucinations of speaking animal toys

Roy Walker/The Black Bandit - The Fall (2006). An injured stuntman begins to tell a fellow patient, a little girl with a broken arm, a fantastic story of five mythical heroes. Did the girl know, how much her new friend is hurt... inside?

Michael - Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2007). Delisia is a flirty charming actress, who has three men asking for her hand. One guarantees her wealth and well-being, another promises a great career. What chance does Michael, a poor pianist, have?

Roman - Possession (2007). Recovered after a car accident, Roman claimes to be his successful brother, Ryan, seriously injured in the same accident. Ryan's wife, Jess doesn't hurry to believe him, but can a man really change that much?

Ned - Pushing Dasies (2007-2009). Born with a superpower of bringing back living creatures back to life, Ned helps a detective to solve murder cases in this crazy magical tale of love, death and unfulfilled desires

Thranduil - The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012). Added just to note, that Peter Jackson cast Lee as Thranduil when he saw him in The Fall (2006)

Joe MacMillan - Halt and Catch Fire (2014-2017). Joe MacMillan is a Don Draper imitation in the world of computers: one with a mysterious past and the ability to just about sell anything

Polarbearman (2008). A man trying to live a normal life, while the water levels around him rise. Representing the polar bears situation and the melting ice caps

Whit Coutel - A Year in a Tent. A funny faux travel documentary by Whit Coutel, a character from "Ceremony" (2010)

He is beauty, he is grace. He is Lee Pace.
