"When I made the ring..." Charles Method Actor Edwards LMAO

[@ebrenalmodo7156]

It's nice to see Sam with the cast, they seem to be so supportive and lovely to each other❤

[@hannibalimtasty]

The chemistry of the cast is just amazing, makes me love the show a lot more. The way they joke and laugh is just a joy to watch. (Laughing alongside them through my screen, their laugh is just so contagious 😂) Can't wait to see more interviews of them.

[@hannibalimtasty]

Also, I'd like to add the interviewer (Patrick)'s questions really brought out the cast's dynamic

[@ZeroDawnGaming91]

Why are they all just so good looking lmao

[@evildoesnotsleep-x2b]

Love Charlie admitting he lied to conceal Sauron's identity

[@chook1311]

Only idiots wouldn’t have known

[@madelief1900]

That was my thought too I was like: Ah how could it be otherwise?, since Sauron (in whatever shape we see him) is a pathological liar and master in manipulation and creating illusions. Seems fitting to his role.

[@Loki-g3k]

If you watched season 1 interviews, he always described Halbrand as a ordinary guy.😂😂😂😂😂

[@sweetbitter2]

Pretty obvious that he lied, no? Lol

[@EverlastingEclipses]

i love how Lloyd thinks so humble of his character when in fact Elendil is the founder of Gondor.

[@yehudisfriedman8459]

Founder of Arnor, Isildur and Anárion founded Gondor

[@eryniel95]

Ismail being on a Ghibli re-watch is my everything 😊

[@calebbailey4728]

Second interview im watching and when that guy said he was the stranger, iw as like 😮. Its always crazy how facial hair or long hair can change a person!

[@dalelinney8437]

Theo for Witch King

[@SowpheeIqbal]

I feel like he's the ancestor of Bard the Bowman.

[@JaysonSherlock]

Season 2 is AMAZING. Awesome cast.

[@ramirodecono3647]

which part did you find amazing? what characters do you love? at this point it's not even hate, but I honestly don't get how can someone say something like that. words mean something. this may be from amazon, but it's definitely NOT AMAZING

[@bemasaberwyn55]

I love that they had the Southland/Numenor cast together

[@ninagoss3996]

I found this series to be thrilling and moving and beautiful. I grew up w LOTR, and Jackson's films. The care that these Rings of Power actors brought to their characters, who I felt did great justice to the seriousness of Tolkien's project, means so much to me. I waited very eagerly for the 2nd season, and all its intensities gripped me as much as I could have hoped. I doubt that the actors read KZbin comments, and I just hope they know how grateful viewers are for their commitment to their work .

[@Regipaul82]

I love this show and it's awesome and I hope we get more n more seasons of it.. No one can convince me otherwise! ❤❤

[@TheASMRLibraryOfficial]

these questions were so interesting! This interview was super fun to watch!

[@indextree31]

Love this cast! Just wish Rob was in more interviews 🥲

[@Dan-B]

How does Benjamin Walker look 20 years younger outside the show? 😱

[@CrazyFangirlReviews]

Its almost like the opposite effect, looks younger with the beard, but without it looks so much older and wiser haha

[@cati0812]

I suspect it’s him embodying the character of an elf who is thousands of years old but I agree

[@aaron_22766]

Wait why did I not know the cast was in Germany!?

[@angeliqueborn9441]

They are referring to MagicCon in Bonn (in 2022) :D

[@akuikott]

Love them so much!! Can't wait for the new season

[@hermanjohnson9180]

Whoa.I have to admit, I'm almost overwhelmed with Morfydd's beauty. 😍

[@EdiBoy89]

She is beautiful isn’t she

[@domi372]

they look so ALIVE and expressive as people but in the show my goodness its nothing but expressionless faces and staring at each other and talking non-stop in circles. Sauron and Celebrimbor and even Adar the only ones who had a dynamic, expressions and depth to their characters and actors to play them and they did it brilliantly.

[@ProudMotherofaDaughter]

@CharlieVickers when I see you play Sauron I have to think of the song Survival of the band Muse. It's so larger than life and dramatic, its suits the energy your Sauron emits. You are rocking this by the way😍🥰🫠

[@Canbykarma]

Love this cast!

[@HeyItsJon92]

[@ionutdonca7272]

The best of all of them is Sauron played by Charlie Vichers OMG nobody like literally nobody cant play Sauron that good, Charlie is a Masterpiece ......pls we need him more on the screen :D

First question - where is Nori, 2nd question - where is Dina's husband, 3rd question - where is Arondir's lover, 4th question - where is Elrond and the last question: where is Nori's mum? Thank you in advance

This was such a fun interview. Such a shame that so much of the public have been set against this excellent show.

It's entertaining but far from excellent. Second season has improved but not enough.

[@serenity4eva89]

🥰🥰🥰

[@middleearth174]

DÜSSELDORF

[@gailf1617]

Charles Edwards is much more interesting off-screen, ditto Benjamin Walker (and he's not boring either, which he is, sadly, onscreen). There's a good-looking man hiding behind Trystan Gravelle's beard and mustache; I hope he shaves someday. Elendil is hot when he's not in costume (and when he's in costume)...

[@Loki-g3k]

Elendil is very important Character. In the future seasons he becomes the main hero in Numenor. I hope they do him justice.

[@trey3rob]

Hopefully season 2 doesn’t wildly edit out the action and actually uses MUSIC

[@MauraWilley-v2v]

theres a 3 episode battle so i don't think that is gonna happen lol

[@pdjinne65]

They're all so nice and talented, it's a shame the script is so abysmal.

Same thoughts. And they all seem fun and they have a nice dynamic as a cast.

Get this show out of american style hollywood actors and writers please. None of them love lord of the rings. Black legolas called it power of rings. Its a money grab and insulting tolkein.

worldwide it was a massive success and still the Nr 1 show from Amazon Prime, after The Boys (Season 2 Rop will hit the N1 spot again) US is not all audience...and by all means, think americans are less patience to watch a slow show...reviews in europe and UK were better aswell

Ouch, that’s rough. Honestly it’s hard to follow up on Jackson, just like it was hard for Jackson to follow up on Tolkien but he did pull it off.

Forgettable original characters & character assassinations of established characters. Cringe Writing. Terrible Direction. Badly choreographed fight scenes. Deluded talentless hack showrunners & writers who actually think they can do Tolkien better than Tolkien himself. & those are just the ones off the top of my head as to why rings of power is such a massive catastrophic failure of a show!

@harisban6742 What does George RR Martin have to do with rings of power??? Sounds like you're just trying really hard to find any excuse to deflect from the cold hard reality that rings of power is an absolute embarrassment of an adaptation.

[@SiStockbridge]

This is going to be another monumental train wreck. I look forward to the memes that will come from this and that is all. Payne & McKay are total hacks that cannot write anything good, end of.
