For <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyactor.com\/tag\/daniel-weyman\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"14994\">Daniel Weyman<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyactor.com\/tag\/charlie-vickers\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"14992\">Charlie Vickers<\/a><\/strong>, the job isn\u2019t about ignoring that history, but finding a way to make the roles feel personal while still staying connected to Tolkien\u2019s world and everything that has come before.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Comic-Con, Weyman talked about finally being able to openly embrace playing Gandalf, from putting on the robes and hat to carrying the staff on set. He also explains why he doesn\u2019t see the character as something he owns, and how his performance is shaped by the source material, the writing from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyactor.com\/interview\/rings-of-power-showrunners-season-3-interview\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"519161\"><strong>J.D. Payne<\/strong> and <strong>Patrick McKay<\/strong><\/a> and the actors around him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vickers takes a similarly grounded approach to Sauron, focusing less on playing a \u201cvillain\u201d and more on what the character actually wants. He discusses Sauron\u2019s belief that he is trying to heal and reorder Middle-earth, why having a clear objective makes the role so satisfying to play and the misconception that audiences have already seen the character at the height of his power.

And it\u2019s also so exciting. Like, I do walk around and come somewhere like San Diego, and you see people dressing up and cosplaying. I get to cosplay for my job. Like, I can\u2019t tell you, when I go into work and I get to wear those robes and the hat and have the staff, it is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyactor.com\/interview\/lilah-fitzgerald-lucky-hank-monster-high\/\">dream come true<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But in a way, I don\u2019t have ownership of Gandalf. Gandalf is everybody\u2019s, right?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How do you keep him yours? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Daniel Weyman:<\/strong> Well, you know, I, as a human being, bring something, my own uniqueness to the character. And that\u2019s sort of my own talent, right?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But a huge amount of Gandalf comes from the source material and what <strong>J.D. [Payne]<\/strong> and <strong>Patrick [McKay]<\/strong> write and how we all fit together as a jigsaw.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And I can\u2019t just be Gandalf without a powerful Sauron upending Middle-earth somewhere and causing havoc. I can\u2019t be Gandalf without Dark Wizards turning bad and trying to capture all his followers. So, it\u2019s not a singular thing, it\u2019s a joint thing, I think. That\u2019s the way I would approach it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Charlie, so no more deception, you\u2019re full-on who you are, right?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Charlie Vickers:<\/strong> I think that\u2019s the real joy of the season for me, is that he has a very clear purpose.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I mean, it\u2019s really nice when you think about the theory of acting, right? He has a really clear goal, but he has a whole bunch of obstacles that he needs to negotiate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>One of the things we\u2019ve seen with the treatment of throughout this has been a more nuanced treatment where you can see almost the heroic components. You\u2019ve brought that to the role, at least in your own mind, I think you\u2019re probably the hero. <\/strong><strong>How will you sustain that? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Charlie Vickers:<\/strong> It\u2019s interesting because I think about Sauron\u2019s journey and one of the things that Tolkien wrote relatively specifically in contrast to everything else. And it\u2019s very true to his text that Sauron is very much the hero of his own journey. He\u2019s trying to heal and reorder and rehabilitate Middle-earth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>And he doesn\u2019t see himself as a villain, right?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Charlie Vickers:<\/strong> No. He cannot see himself as someone that wants to destroy everything and that I\u2019m doing the wrong thing. And I don\u2019t think that\u2019s very helpful for me as an actor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And my remaining journey on this show, I\u2019m lucky that the material is very clear that he\u2019s doing what he thinks is best.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s the biggest misconception audiences still have about your version of Sauron?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Charlie Vickers:<\/strong> Interesting, that\u2019s a good question. I mean, probably that Sauron is fully healed, right? And it\u2019s kind of what we talked about.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is actually a small misconception, I think, that the form that is released this is like peak Sauron, right? Where it\u2019s not. It\u2019s a stage of him on the journey. So, I would say that\u2019s probably a misconception.<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related Posts<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Playing Gandalf and Sauron comes with a built-in challenge: audiences already have a very strong idea of who these characters are.
