Just one last word on that blond elf. If it is anyone, it must be Thranduil, because I'm sure now I've heard it somewhere.
Either way, it could not be Gil-Galad, because we know what he looks like and we see him once for a brief second in the movie (right before you see Elendil raising Narsil high and uttering a warcry, you see Gil-Galad slashing an orc with his long spear and stabbing down to kill it). You can go to this pic in TORn's archives to see what he looks like, if you haven't before.

So anyhow, Thranduil is the best answer I can think of.
