Rings of Power cast Rory Kinnear

Speaking about the exciting news, showrunners J. D. Payne and Patrick McKay said: “He’s whimsical and magical, and almost verging on silly. But also has the wisdom of the ages and the music of the spheres and deep emotional wells of ancient history and myth, and his conception and function are tied to Norse myths and have deep roots in European fairy tale.”
