PORTLAND, Ore. - eTradeWire -- What could be better for The Lord of the Rings fans than the chance to meet the Four Hobbits? How about adding a Sindarin Elf for good measure? At FAN EXPO Portland, January 16-18 at the Oregon Convention Center, they'll get the full LOTR treatment, as the event today announced that Orlando Bloom, who portrayed "Legolas," will join the previously announced Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Billy Boyd and Dominic Monaghan as celebrity guests at the pop culture extravaganza next month.
