Beloved by worldwide audiences for her performance as the feisty Kate in the acclaimed mystery series Lost, for which she earned a Golden Globe Best Actress nomination, Canada’s Evangeline Lilly now stars as Silvan Elf Tauriel in Peter Jackson‘s The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.
A favorite of King Thranduil (Lee Pace) and Captain of the Woodland Guard, Tauriel is as deadly as she is beautiful. Her job is to follow the orders of the King without question. However, Tauriel has a strong will and unyielding passion for what she believes is right. An expert fighter, she carries signature weapons including twin daggers and a bow and arrow. Like Legolas (Orlando Bloom), Tauriel is extremely fast and agile in battle. Although she has lived for many hundreds of years in Middle-earth, she remains one of the youngest of the Elven folk, and has rarely ventured beyond the borders of the great forest.
