There are a lot of multisgments and connections in the media of the Middle -earth. Even with completely separated projects, such as the “The Rings of Power” series by Prime Video and the “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit” trilogies by Peter Jackson, you can see the passwit on. Some are obvious, such as the similarities of Balrog’s design between Jackson’s films and the Prime Video show. Others are more subtle, as The ways “The rings of power” try to take over the magic of the movies on the land of the middle of Jackson. And then there is the human link.

Overall, there is not too much staff crossing between the universes of Warner Bros and the Middle Terre video. However, there is an actor who managed to appear in both: Jed Brophy. Even more impressive? He managed to win full -fledged character roles in the six Jackson films on the earth and has since presented himself on “The Rings of Power”. He even developed a reputation for playing several parts in the various JRR Tolkien productions.

Brophy, for those who are not familiar, is from New Zealand, a country that has welcomed more than its fair share of media productions of the average land. The actor of Kiwi occupied the following roles in “The Lord of the Rings”, “The Hobbit” and “The Rings of Power”:

• In “The Fellowship of the Ring”, he plays an unavnforced ringwraith, a hobbit at Bilbo’s birthday party and an errant elf.

• In “The Two Towers”, he plays a soldier from Rohan, Sharku (the Warg Orc who sends Aragorn Careening of a cliff), and Snaga (the Orc beheaded by the captain of Uruk-Hai Uglúk).

• In “The Return of the King”, he plays the armor of the witch and another Orc.

• In the three films “Hobbit”, he plays Nori, one of Thorin and Bilbo’s dwarf companions.

• In “The Rings of Power”, he plays several orcas in several episodes, including a hunter, a tavern and a knotty guy named realth.

In addition to this impressive curriculum vitae in the middle, Brophy’s characters and talents appeared on several additional media, including Lego video games based on video games “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit” and the video game “Lord of the Rings: The Third Age”. To say that man is deep in Tolkien’s adaptations is an understatement.

While Jed Brophy is the only individual to go through studio productions in his career as an actor in Middle -Middle, there are many cases where Tolkian actors have arisen in other benefits and trilogies. Ian McKellen is one of the most obvious. The actor of Gandalf played a key role (with a lot of screen time) in the three films “The Lord of the Rings” before doing the same in the “Hobbit” trilogy.

Hugo Weaving also resumed his role as Elrond through the two trilogies, just like Cate Blanchett as Elven Leader Galadriel, Orlando Bloom as Elven Prince Legolas, and Christopher Lee as a Saruman sorcerer. While Martin Freeman was interpreted as a younger version of Bilbo for the films “The Hobbit”, Ian Holm was brought back as the elderly version of the character for a flashback – and Elijah Wood also joined him as Frodon.

Of course, we cannot neglect Andy Serkis’ performance as Gollum. While Serkis did not appear on the screen in the flesh (apart from a brief passage as Sméagol in the opening scene of “The Return of the King”), he played an instrumental role in life in Gollum and did it again and again in the two trilogies of Jackson. The last one we will mention here is the unexpected return of Miranda Otto as an Éowyn. Otto played Rohan’s heroic shieldmaiden in “The Two Towers” and “The Return of the King”, but his character could not come back for the “Hobbit” trilogy, because it is a prequel set before Eowyn was born. However, Otto ended up returning two decades after his first Middle -earth foam To tell the spin-off of anime 2024 “The Lord of the Rings: the Rohirrim War”.

Playing the same character through several trilogies is one thing, but one of the impressive things about Jed Brophy’s career is the number of characters he played in different films. He is not alone in this regard either. There are several well -known actors and several less known who have accomplished this feat.

Welsh actor John Rhys-Davies, for example, played Gimli in the films “Lord of the Rings” (even if The makeup of the role left him physically ill And His double blow ended up in many blows). In addition to this role, Rhys-Davies helped to express the arboreal leader Treebeard. (Listen to it. Once you know, it’s obvious.) Bret McKenzie, of cult renown “Flight of the Conchords”, was also in the “Lord of the Rings” and “Hobbit” trilogies. The New Zealander appeared for the first time as a pair of minor elves: Aegnor in “The Fellowship of the Ring” and “Elf Escort” in “The Return of the King”. Fans also jumped on his cameo, appointing him Figwit. (According to the Fans website Figwitlives.netThe name is a standing acronym for “Frodon is Grea … Who is it?”) While playing the kind of elven character in two parts through the films “Lord of the Rings”, McKenzie returned to represent the Elf Lindir in “The Hobbit: an unexpected journey”.

If you develop research to consider cascade doubles, the number increases. For example, Jason Hood played men from Rohan and Gondor in Jackson’s original trilogy before taking the númenórean Tamar coat in “The Rings of Power”. Likewise, Mana Hira Davis and Winham Hammond were stuntmen for the six films “Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit” (including as Richard Armitage and Graham McTavish in double, respectively) before joining “The Rings of Power”, also while double blows. Finally, we have man, myth and legend himself, Mr. Peter Jackson. Jackson appeared in the six films on Middle -earthPlaying everything from a carrot to pirates, soldiers, dwarves and even Bilbo’s father.
