Interviews, Monologues, Acting Tips and Advice

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.

Córdova talks about Arondir’s curiosity, empathy and instinct to protect others, while Bower explains how he prepared to play Celeborn, drawing inspiration from Tolkien’s writings and paintings and exploring the character’s loyalty, joy and ability to hold on to hope.

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.

Kate McKinnon and Emily Lynne talk about creating Heads Will Roll, the Audible comedy series they describe as “a sitcom for the ears.” Set in a sprawling fantasy world, the series combines the awkward social comedy of Curb Your Enthusiasm with the epic scale of Game of Thrones.

In this Comic-Con interview, McKinnon and Lynne discuss writing the show side by side, encouraging the cast to improvise, creating a role specifically for Richard Kind and working with guest stars including Laurie Metcalf, Jimmy Fallon, Megan Mullally and Carrie Coon. They also explain how the new season uses its ridiculous fantasy setting to explore aging, relationships, family and what it means to build a good life.
