great actor, the look behind his eyes as Annatar/Sauron in Season 2 of Rings of Power is truly unsettling but here he's just a chill, normal, friendly guy.

[@saraamw]

He is so good that feels like i am rooting for sauron

thats literaly how he tricked everyone in middle earth

@@dutchkel haha yes, imagine the guy who cast the sauron that Adar killed be the original, it would quite destroy all the charisma sauron had from books and movies

Rightttt?!!?! His manipulation works too good, even on us 😂. I can't get enough of him on screen

[@God-tempest]

I always has been even in Lord of rings but he lost 😢

[@blackeyedlily]

I feel bad that the bottle of first age wine was destroyed!😂

[@mrs.manrique7411]

Poetic considering Sauron spilled a lot of blood, in the first age. and shattered a lot of lives.

[@clipdown4514]

I laughed when it was mentioned 😂 Then cried when it broke 😢

[@mertsrc3853]

I thought sauron couldnt refuse some wine, likely he destroyed the bottle.

[@nromero2]

I agree!! How could he spill that good 🍷? I was like “No, grab the dang bottle before it breaks!!”😂😂😢

[@joshuamorin987]

My reaction was like "No the first age bottle!"

[@Muffffka]

The Vicker's depth of understanding of his character/s is just outstanding. I can listen to him describing the whole process of bringing Halbrand/Sauron to life all day long. How he is able to act both characters so different yet connected is just pure masterclass. I think the eyes, the microexpressions of his face it is where all the magic happens. Also with whoever he does the scene he is absolutely the focus of all the viewers attention, he owns the room, yet he is still acting in the environment and with others... I'm just absolitely amazed by his range.

[@KarenSDR]

Vickers is a brilliant actor. He does so much with little micro-expressions, the shadow of a smirk or scowl. I'm enjoying the series very much (as a Tolkien fan since 1969.) And I'm especially enjoying his performance as a character who reminds me of Ted Bundy: charming and so evil.

[@creatrixZBD]

I find him a hammy overactor. And he looks like every third Aussie knobend in a black hoodie that hits you up for a dollar on Russell Street. I think that really kills it for me. I keep expecting him to furtively look around and ask me if i’m “Jason” (iykyk)

[@KarenSDR]

@@creatrixZBD If Sauron can't be hammy, who can be? But I see a lot of subtlety in his facial expressions. I don't have a crush on him or his character; I'm old enough to be his grandmother. But I do enjoy what he brings to the character.

[@FritiofYoutube]

​@@creatrixZBD I think someone might need a snickers or somethin

[@lindasilina4806]

All season 1 I was thinking "is he or isn't he Sauron", although it seemed like obviously he is. Then on the season finale when Galadriel asked him, Vickers was really spot on with his acting... like, idk the words to put it, but it was like you could see the real Sauron come out in that scene. And on season 2 he is spot on - nothing like the "evil villains" in other movies, just doing his thing and quietly spreading evil everywhere... Seriously the perfect actor for this role.

[@kesy1897]

In every single scene wethere he's Halbrand or Annatar the guy is so damn convincing, you are absolutely falling for it. Hats off Charlie!

[@Southlander-v7z]

I want to listen to an audiobook with Charlie`s voice

[@thehunter7422]

I can't get enough of the scenes of Charlie Vickers as Sauron, honestly one of the best casting choices of this show period, especially when hes disguised in his Annatar form. Almost on the same line of hype as Peter Jackson picking Viggo for Aragorn❤️🤗. I can't wait to see more of him . Hes freaking killing it so far. Same with Charles Edwards as Celebrimbor, both of them in those scenes so far, both killing it 💯🔥. So hyped for the last 2 episodes of season 2 🙌

[@jenbialek]

Agreed. The 2 Charlies are fantastic

[@adambowles388]

Charlie Vickers is so amazing as Sauron. You can tell how much he loves playing him and he has done the research and homework to act like him. Charlie Vickers IS Sauron. Its wonderful!

[@marygraceredfield2702]

Charlie Vickers was phenomenal this season! Amazing to watch him as Anatar/Halbrand/Sauron. He stole every scene.

[@lavendairea.5219]

It is so nice, I love to see Charlie speaking of his character!!!!

[@kathleenwirth5225]

Sauron is such a snake, which Mr. Vickers is really doing a great job of portraying.

[@cati0812]

This was delightful I could watch the whole season with him talking us through it

[@premises_conclusion9737]

Both Charlies did a great job with their performances 👏💯👌

[@Remus88Romulus]

Very good actor! Great casting for Sauron.

[@Wolfeye125]

Why is Sauron so good looking? 😅

[@annafdd]

Canon!

[@Mayakran]

You’d have to ask Tolkien, it was his idea, lol. Probably has to do with Lucifer appearing beautiful to trick people since he was Catholic. And the character is a manipulator and vain and he’s only stuck as an ugly spiky doomlord later because the gods took his “fair form” from him as punishment.

[@therearenoshortcuts9868]

@12:20 the speech was impressive actually wondered how he managed to pull it off 50+ times makes me feel a bit better as a human and not just someone who has a charisma deficit lol

[@Musemay_ta]

Классный момент, когда появляется Аннатар! У меня были мурашки, красиво сняли! Чарли отличный актер, видно как он проживает своего персонажа, молодец! Вжился в роль! Мне очень нравится сериал, и 1-й и 2-й сезоны! Я очень люблю Толкина, читала все книги, черновики, эссе, Сильмариллион несколько раз, всегда симпатизировала Мелькору и Майрону, Толкин хоть и называл их злом, но все же многие их поступки можно понять, не бывает абсолютного зла, Саурон интересный персонаж, достоин того, чтобы про него сняли сериал! Было бы круто еще увидеть других Валар и обязательно, чтобы показали, что именно Эру Иллуватор затопил Нуменор! Многим зрителям не совсем понятно, как в сериале идет время и почему героев из разных эпох показывают в одних сериях параллельно, думаю что создателям нужно больше объяснять то, как они это видят и понимают, тогда сериал полюбит больше зрителей! Я в комментариях многим пытаюсь донести какие-то мысли, но людям сложно понять, потому что объем материала очень большой, не все прочитали так много, как нужно, чтобы хорошо разбираться в лоре, поэтому отдельно для сценаристов, было бы круто чтобы они снимали мини ролики с пояснениями, например как снимали серию и почему добавили новых героев, которых не было в книгах! Мне например это понятно, но не все разделяют такое трактование! Очень жду 3-й сезон!

[@sdl1ishappy]

He's really the best thing in the show, such a magnificent villain. And the show is so pretty to look at (including him, natch).

[@ZoesZoo]

Charlie is so sweet, it throws me off everytime I see him interviewed!

[@eyeoftherose09]

I love the Annatar reveal! The effects & music are so amazing. It must be fun to get to play two "different" characters like Halbrand and Annatar. But I wonder if it's awkward to watch your own scenes like this lol. So excited for season 2!

[@짝짝짝-v6o]

Me too😭

[@mish375]

I find it interesting when Sauron says "the power of the flesh" because that fits Tolkien's theme surrounding temptation. The idea is that no one is immune to the power of the flesh when it comes to being tempted by something. And Sauron uses the Ring to amplify that, which is why it corrupts everyone's hearts that own it or are in its presence. Even if they seek to use the Ring for good, it will make the person holding it do evil.

[@Feänor-h4y]

It means power over people, not to empower the flesh, but to empower the spirit ( the unseen ) over flesh.

[@mish375]

@@Feänor-h4y Yes and that ties into the Catholic undertones relating to the power of the flesh over people. That's precisely what I was referring to.

[@gevatell3814]

He wants to create "the power over the flesh" instead of "the power of the flesh" ;-)

[@aobane841]

I could totally see him playing a character like Loki too. Manipulating, cunning and charming at same time. Of course, Tom Huddleston is one of my favorites and IS Loki but I can totally see Charlie as a variant!
