We spoke w/ Morfydd Clark about exploring Galadriel's fearlessness in RingsOfPower.
From showrunners JD Payne & Patrick McKay, the Amazon Studios multi-season drama series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is set in the Second Age of Middle-earth’s history, thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings and at a time when a terrifying villain called Sauron is looking to conquer the kingdoms, defeat the heroes, and gain control over all life.
MORFYDD CLARK: When I auditioned, it was just called Untitled Amazon Project. Someone in my audition room was like, “Do you know what this is? It’s The Lord of the Rings.” I’m forever grateful to them because I then went into the bathroom and took a few deep breaths, stared at myself in mirror, and was like, “You’ve gotta change everything you decided to do for this audition because now you know more.
Because Galadriel is someone who seems so otherworldly, is there a quality in your character that you most love and enjoy playing and really getting to dig into? CLARK: There are so many places in my costume where daggers can be hidden. There’s obviously a magical element to the elves, in that they can always disappear into whatever background they’re in, so it was the practicality amongst the beauty. It was quite amazing. And then, something wonderful was they had incense all around Númenor, so we also had sensory elements to it. As an actor, you couldn’t ask for anything more.
It must be so amazing to be in this hair and makeup, on these sets, in these costumes, and be surrounded by everybody else doing the same thing. Are there times, in those bigger moments when you’re interacting with the King, where you stop and poke some fun at each other because it’s all so surreal? What is the atmosphere on set like, on those days?
