Here Are The Actors Behind These Famous Movie Villains

Azog the Defiler

Azog the Defiler, or The Pale Orc, is one of the central villains in The Hobbit. Played by Manu Bennett, the role involved wearing a green suit while performing all of his scenes in order to be digitally enhanced later. He didn't even get to act on the set with the rest of the actors.

Bennett has also been seen in films such as 30 Days of Night and Beta Test. His role in The Hobbit is certainly one of his more menacing characters, and the amount of post-production work that went into bringing Azog to life is unmatched by any of his other films. He's completely unrecognizable in the final version of the movie.
