History
Orlando was born and raised in Canterbury, Kent.
His plan of becoming an actor developed quite early when he realized that "Superman" Christoper Reeve was an actor.
At 16, he moved to London where he joined the National Youth Theatre for two seasons and then gained a scholarship to train with the British American Drama Academy. On completion of his scholarship, Bloom played the lead in "A Walk in the Vienna Woods." Bloom's screen debut was in the feature film "Wilde". He was then accepted to Guildhall and chose to put his screen career on hold for the opportunity to further his education. After graduating from Guildhall, Bloom performed in the television series "Midsomer Murders" playing the characte of Peter Drinkwater *nice name*.
Peter Jackson discovered the classically handsome Bloom for his much hyped Lord of the Rings trilogy in 1999. After doing three movies with Jackson, he's worked with Ridley Scott on Black Hawk Down(2002) and with Mark Mylod on Chequered Past.
Orlando is currently in Melbourne shooting a movie called "Ned Kelly" with Heath Ledger.
