Description from Wikipedia:
Bret Peter Tarrant McKenzie (born 29 June, 1976 in New Zealand) is a musician, actor, producer, writer and comedian, best known for being half of the musical comedy duo Flight of the Conchords with Jemaine Clement. He is also a former member of The Black Seeds. He has appeared in the first and third films in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy, achieving some internet notoriety as Figwit. His father is Peter McKenzie, who played the role of Elendil in Lord of the Rings.
