“We spoke a lot about his parentage. He’s sort of an orphan, and there are unhealed wounds that exist within him. Elrond is part-human, and his brother Elros, who chose to be human and eventually founded Númenor, were raised by their captor as children. I liked the showrunners’ ability to collaborate with that, because it became important to me that he’s an orphan and that he doesn’t belong here or there. I’d gained such passion for Eärendil and Elwing, Elrond’s parents, who appear in the Silmarillion, everything they’d achieved. It’s a lot to live up to for him!”
