Interviews, Monologues, Acting Tips and Advice

At Comic-Con, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power stars Benjamin Walker, Owain Arthur and Cynthia Addai-Robinson talk about leadership, responsibility and what it means to keep moving forward when their characters are under enormous pressure.

Arthur discusses how years of playing Durin have deepened his understanding of the character as he takes on more responsibility, while Addai-Robinson explains why she has never viewed Míriel as a victim, even after losing her kingdom, her father and her sight. Walker talks about Gil-galad’s long-term view of leadership, the importance of preparing others to survive without him and how that perspective shapes his choices in the new season.

They also discuss the hope and resilience at the heart of Tolkien’s world, and Arthur teases that the family dynamics around Durin are only getting richer.

At Comic-Con, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power stars Daniel Weyman and Charlie Vickers talk about taking on two of Middle-earth’s most iconic characters: Gandalf and Sauron.

Weyman discusses finally being able to openly embrace playing Gandalf, why he doesn’t feel ownership over the character and how his performance is shaped by Tolkien’s writing, the showrunners and the cast around him. Vickers explains why he never approaches Sauron as a villain, how the character sees himself as the hero of his own story and why audiences still haven’t seen Sauron at the height of his power.

At Comic-Con, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power stars Ismael Cruz Córdova and Jamie Campbell Bower discuss the characters they play, the qualities that define them and how working on the Prime Video series has affected them personally.

They also open up about being dyslexic, the support they received from the production and why, as actors, forming genuine bonds on set can sometimes be more valuable than over-researching a role.

At Comic-Con, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power showrunners J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay discuss the challenges of expanding Middle-earth in Season 3, introducing Jamie Campbell Bower as Galadriel’s husband, Celeborn, and finding an actor who could fit into the show’s already established ensemble.

They also talk about balancing the legacy of The Lord of the Rings with the need to tell a story that stands on its own, collaborating with actors including Morfydd Clark, Cynthia Addai-Robinson and Charlie Vickers, and why the actor playing the most evil character in Middle-earth is one of the best people to work with off-screen.
