The great Elijah question

i looked and didnt find anything and this will still probably be closed soon anyway but...

¿why does Elijah get some many characters that get beaten up? even in some cameos (like that stupid film ummm... spy kids 3-D he gets electrocuted within seconds of coming on screen)

this has been buging me so if somebody can please help i would be greatful

Because they're in the script? 🙂

It's just a coincidence that Elijah played those characters. Everything else is up to the script, but it's not like the scriptwriters and the casting directors have some hidden grudge to Elijah or anything. 😉

i don't know... it's just his nature to play roles like that i suppose... like Why does Jim Carrey normally get comedic roles?

cuz he's a wimp...j/k!

i dunno, he must like getting beat up!

haha it was funny in spy kids 3-d when he came in, i started laughing, anyway, where else does he get beat up beside lotr and sk 3-d?

lol even in the trailer for
eternal sunshine of the spotless mind

he comes on and is being hurt 😛

its just that is what he is, he looks like a wimply kid...

I think he's always gotten the roles with him being beaten up. Like in The Faculty (that was, what, a few years ago, too, when it came out...), he got beaten up, but he was the hero person 😉 hehe. I haven't seen Spy Kids 3D (it looks kind of kiddish and, well, stupid), but I saw him in some commercials for it and I just knew he was gonna get zapped or whatever haha.

I guess he's just great at playing wimpy roles 🙄 Elijah's just weird haha. No, that's not a bad thing.

lol i thought u were ganna ask is elijah a virgin! lol 😂 i dunno maybe its just a conincidence(sp?) like orlando always dies...?

orlando always dies

POTC....he doesnt LOTR he doesnt

and thats all i think i have seen him in lol

he dies in BHD does he not?

hes ganna die in potc, troy, dies in midsummer murders, dies in ned kelly..dunno wot eles but he dies alot lol bhd??

black hawk down

oooh yeh he dies in black hawk down!

I didn't notice that before but you're right! Elijah is almost always beaten in his movies.. Because of his scared face, i'm telling you.. *smile*
