Joseph Mawle (Adar) on the “The Rings of Power” Set

Aside from this instagram post by Luke Hawker after Adar was recast [Edit or this one(x)], the uruk actors Jed Brophy (Vrath), Phil Grieve (Bazur), Luke Hawker (Magrot) &  Robert Strange (Lurka) also only had praise for Joseph Mawle in the “Nerd of the Rings” interview. (https://youtu.be/eDJ9SgAyjL4).   * “He´s a fine actor” (Phil Grieve); “Phoof” (Luke Hawker)  (~ 26:10) * “wonderful and an amazing [performer?] to work with, like whoa so intense and so awesome” (Luke Hawker ~21:55)  * They mention Ismael Cruz Córdova and Joseph Mawle as highlights among the actors they performed with. (~18:32) Mawle cared about the uruks & the people:  * Mawle wanted the TRoP orcs to be seen more as refugees looking for their own homeland and worked with the uruk actors on that concept and a “culturally” different approach. (~7:05 Phil Grieve) * Mawle worked a lot with them in terms of helping them to create the backstory; it seems he had put a lot work into that even before they got there (?). “He kind of paved the way for us having a voice which I think was really important”  (~20:40 Jed Brophy) * Robert Strange talks about Mawle caring about “making the uruks, the orcs come across as a people”. It´s not just Adar it´s Mawle too. “He was very very passionate and clear and vocal about making sure that we felt represented as actors as well as the orcs as not just kind of killing machines, or just generic battle evil minions, that was great because we had a really good voice on our side.” * Luke Hawker highlights Mawle caring for the people on set: “He also said .. to whole … all the extras, action extras, stunt .. anyone who was wearing an uruk costume ... he would say to them […]  if you got a problem come to me, he was a bastion(?) for the whole (?)… wonderful and an amazing performer? (…)”

* They talk about there being resistance to them having too much Black Speech on the show and how they got a lot of help in that regard from Joseph Mawle and Leith McPherson the dialect coach. (~16:44)

 * Luke Hawker talks about Magrot´s death scene, about the acting and cut dialogue. (~ 25:00)  In general Mawle seems to have “a wonderful way of preparing for each scene” but for this one they didn´t talk and it seems that helped to make it more emotional!   * They all were very passionate about as well as proud of Magrot´s death scene and they filmed more than could be seen in the episode (that bit starts a couple minutes earlier ~22:05). It seems they and Mawle really “pushed” to have that scene be so significant and the director was impressed as well but sadly “it wasn´t quite that evident in terms of the edit on the show.” (They even got back form lunch early as a group to show director Wayne Che Yip what they had come up with).  * Jed Brophy alludes to no everything being all “fun and games” at sets, there´s hard work and things you can´t talk about, but he tries to keep it positive with fans at conventions etc. (~50:56) This is more a general statement and certainly not(!) necessarily referring to the TRoP set.  (Corrections and additions welcome.)

I didn't know until now that Deadline is hosting those exciting behind the scenes episodes where the actors, writers, directors and others members of the artistic team explain how they create the show.

If you loved like me episode 5 Partings, you will really enjoy this bonus.

This time the special guests are for the actors: Morfydd Clark (Galadriel),Charlie Vickers (Halbrand), Cynthia Addai-Robinson (Queen Regent Miriel), Trystan Gravelle (Pharazon), Ema Horvath (Earien), and Leon Wadham (Kemen)

The episode director Wayne Che Yip, writer Justin Doble, and composer Bear McCreary gave too some interviews.

My favorite parts:

When Charlie Vickers and Wayne Yip confirmed that Morfydd Clark and all the actors that played with her in the swords fight scene had done so much stunt rehearsal, when came the day of filming it, they did the entire scene without the help of the stunt actors, which allowed the director to make full shots of Morfydd instead of doing only close ups of her face to hide the fact it's not her.

Leon Wadham is so excited about playing Kemen, his relationship with Eärien and his father Pharazön! He gave a lot of insights about what Kemen thinks and what he wants, that changed my view on the character and his intentions."His" Kemen is more eager initially to follow his father's path and more selfish than i perceived him to be, thus Isildur's decision to save his life instead of running away shocked him: he saw it as something incredibly selfless and heroic.

Ema Horvath brings so many good insights about Eärien's attachment to Nùmenor, how her love for Isildur is linked to the fact that she already lost her mother and can't see her other brother.

Which brings the question: what about her father? Why isn't her relationship with Elendir more developed? They had one scene together long ago (episode 3), in which' their relationship didn't seem good. While he showed a strong support to Isildur's career to the point to force him to enroll in the Sea Guard, he was shocked that she submitted a new application to the Builder's Guild (she hide it from him probably because she feared he would discourage her, he was already convinced the Guild wouldn't reconsider its decision), and shouted at her when she tried to defend her brother. When they left for war, the crowd stopped her from reaching Isildur, which broke her heart, but nothing was showed or said about her feelings about Elendil'sdeparture (unless it was cut).

Everything that Bear McCreary said about the role of music in Tolkien's work and what it meant to him is like poetry (especially the part where he said he was already creating music for the LOTR universe in the back of his mind decades before being hired for the series). He's so attuned to Tolkien's work, so immersed in Howard Shore's soundtracks for the films and in Peter Jackson's adaptations, that contributing to the series is really a dream coming true for him, which explains why he reacts in such powerful and vibrant way to it.

I discovered his work on Battlestar Galactica (2005), the best Sci-Fi show ever made, and to say he fell deeply in love with this show and felt it in his bones wouldn't convey even enough how composing for BSG was intense for him. BSG soundtracks were his greatest work ever. I feel the same level of dedication here and it's moving.

The actors, writer and director are talking a lot also about Galadriel and Halbrand's relationship, so it's a good BTS episode for their fans too.

Director Wayne Che Yip (Doctor Who) directed four episodes of the series, including many key Númenórean moments. (Here, he's seen speaking to Cynthia Addai-Robinson and Trystan Gravelle.)

"Tonally, we wanted [Rings of Power] to reflect [Tolkien's] main story points of friendship and good and evil," Yip explains. "One of the ideas is: How far into the darkness are you willing to go to do the right thing?" (x)
