The “Merry” part in “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” is the first big-screen role of Dominic Monaghan who was born in Germany.
He later starred in “Wolverine“, but his greatest achievement was not in the film industry.
It is because of the role of Charlie Pace in the American drama “Lost” that has a part of the masterpiece that is full.
Later in “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker“, Dominic also starred in Professor Bumon King.
The filming of “Waldo” co-starring with Mel Gibson and Charlie Hunnam has been completed and will be released this year.
I would like to thank the son of Viggo Mortensen for being able to star in the beautiful “King” Aragorn in the “The Lord of the Rings” series.
As a fan of the original book, he persuaded his father to join the group after the film had been filming for several days.
Viggo, who was born in New York, was still a poet, photographer and painter himself. He also took his own roughness and tenderness into his interpretation of Aragorn.
After “The Lord of the Rings”, he starred in Cronenberg’s “A History of Violence“.
The two again collaborated on “Eastern Promises” which earned him an Oscar nomination.
In recent years, “Captain Fantastic” and “Green Book” have made him successively nominated for “Best Actor”.
Especially the fat driver with a big belly in the latter, people can hardly recognize Viggo’s prosperous beauty.
Next, Ron Howard’s new film “Thirteen Lives“, starring him, is being filmed. This film will bring the world-renowned Thai cave rescue incident to the big screen.
It’s different from “Harry Potter“, there are actors with special figures who play “fairies”.
The British actor John Rhys-Davies, who played the dwarf Gimli in the “The Lord of the Rings” series, actually has 1.85 meters in real life (data from Google).
He is taller than Viggo Mortensen, Orlando Bloom and Ian McKellen.
In the 1980s, John was familiar with many audiences because of his appearance in the “Indiana Jones” series.
After “The Lord of the Rings“, John also starred in “The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement“, and “Triptank Season 1“, “The Shannara Chronicles“, “Apocalypto” and other numerous TV works.
In recent years, in addition to a small voice in “Aquaman“, John is actually very productive, and most of his appearances are small-production, low-cost film and television works.
He also appeared in the new play “Wizards” created by director Guillermo del Toro, which just started airing last year.
If one of the actors in the “The Lord of the Rings” series performed the task of changing the times, it would be “Gollum” Andy Serkis.
The phrase “My Precioussssss” makes the scalp numb like being carved into the bone marrow.
Since then, the world has realized the cross-age influence of CG motion capture technology, and Weta Studio has also risen.
Later, in “King Kong“, which he collaborated with Peter Jackson again, Andy did a motion capture for King Kong.
In the “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” series, he did motion capture for Caesar, and he came back to star in “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” as expected.
Andy Serkis is a re-employed MCU actor in China, who played Ulysses Klaw in “Avengers: Age of Ultron“.
This character will return in “Black Panther” in the future.
Next, there is “Snoke”, the supreme leader of the First Order in the “Star Wars” series, waiting for him to bring his stunts of motion capture and dubbing to the extreme once again.
In 2017, Andy presented his first director work “Breathe“.
Later, he did motion capture and dubbing for Baru the Bear in his own directed “Mowgli“.
“Venom 2” directed by Andy has finished filming in the later stage, and he will also be the butler for Bruce Wayne played by Robert Pattinson in Matt Reeves’ new “The Batman“.
Although the motion capture starring does not meet the criteria for nominations in the Oscar actor category.
But with multiple identities across the IP of DC/Sony Marvel, Andy from London is probably the one with the broadest development dimension among the actors of “The Lord of the Rings“.
When the fairy princess Arwen, riding a horse, appeared on the big screen for the first time, many viewers were so shocked that they couldn’t breathe at Liv Tyler’s amazing beauty.
Liv Tyler’s father is Stephen Tyler, the lead singer of the famous American (Aerosmith) band.
The appearance of the daughter is totally different from that of the big-mouthed father, which makes people sigh the magic of the Creator.
As the second-generation star, Liv Tyler did not waste his beauty and talent. He starred in “Stealing Beauty” directed by Bernardo Bertolucci at the age of 18.
Liv Tyler has successively cooperated with famous directors such as Michael Bay, Robert Altman and Oliver Stone.
However, after “The Lord of the Rings“, Liv Tyler’s route was very different. She immediately chose to star in the low-cost comedy “Jersey Girl” of cult director Kevin Smith.
Later, Liv Tyler also starred in Edward Harrison Norton’s version of “The Incredible Hulk” and co-starred with Brad Pitt in “Ad Astra” in 2019.
Liv Tyler’s latest US drama “9-1-1: Lone Star” also started airing last year.
Karl Urban is another excellent example of New Zealand actors reaching the world with the “The Lord of the Rings” series.
After Karl Urban played the brilliant human character “Éomer”, “The Chronicles of Riddick“, “The Bourne Supremacy”, “Doom“…
The action films in which Karl Urban appeared one after another.
But it wasn’t until the role of Dr. McCoy in the movie “Star Trek” series that audiences really remember him.
Karl Urban also crossed over to the MCU. He played the black-eyed executioner Schkecher in “Thor: Ragnarok“-after all, this film was also made by a New Zealand director!
In recent years, Karl Urban has played an invisible Stormtrooper role in “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” (like many celebrity fans), and also played in a different super British drama “The Boys” Billy Butcher.
In the future, whether we will see the old bone played by him again in the ill-fated new “Star Trek” movie depends on Paramount’s arrangement.
“The King of Elves” Hugo Weaving was born in Nigeria and has been developing in Australia.
Before starring in “The Lord of the Rings“, Hugo’s most famous role was the worker Smith wearing sunglasses in “The Matrix“.
The second and third parts of the “The Matrix” series were released in the same year as the second and third parts of the “The Lord of the Rings” series.
After Hugo starred in “V for Vendetta“, he wore a mask throughout the whole process, and the deep and dramatic voice became the biggest killer.
Can you hear that “Megatron” in the “Transformers” series is the voice of Hugo?
Middle Earth x MCU!
Hugo played the role of the Red Skull in the first “Captain America” in an unrecognizable appearance, but was absent from the “Avengers 4: Endgame” many years later.
In addition to dubbing the “Happy Feet” series, Hugo also starred in “Cloud Atlas” “Hacksaw Ridge” and other works, and returned to star in “The Hobbit” series.
And in a recent interview with foreign media, he made it clear that he did not want to play the role of Elrond in Amazon’s American drama “The Lord of the Rings“.
The most important role actor happened to be the last to talk.
In addition to Gandalf who would be mistaken for Dumbledore, there are two other people in the “The Lord of the Rings” and “Harry Potter” series that are indeed somewhat similar.
They are two heroes who do their part, both of whom are child stars, but Daniel Jacob Radcliffe is British, and “Frodo” Elijah Wood is an American actor.
As early as 8 years old, Elijah Wood played a small role in “Back to the Future Part Ⅱ“, and then participated in “Ice Storm” directed by Ang Lee.
After “The Lord of the Rings“, Elijah Wood starred in the romance films “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” and “Paris, je taime“.
In order to get rid of his “baby face” image, Elijah Wood chose to subvert himself in “Sin City“, playing the trembling cannibalism.
Subsequently, in addition to dubbing the protagonist Penguin in the “Happy Feet” series, Elijah also returned to star in “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey“.
His recent American drama works include “Star Wars: Resistance“, “Dirk Gently” and so on. The new film “L.A. Rush” is in post-production.
