RingsOfPower's Sauron actor talks playing a villain hiding in plain sight. 'It was tricky because I didn't want to play into the suspicions too much [in] the beginning because I didn't know if they were true.'
Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’s Charlie Vickers has reflected on the challenge of portraying the character who would ultimately be revealed as the villainous Sauron. Based on the epic fantasy works of J.R.R. Tolkien, the first season of The Rings of Power recently wrapped up on Amazon Prime Video while production on season 2 is currently underway in England.
It was tricky because I didn't want to play into the suspicions too much [in] the beginning because I didn't know if they were true. So it was a real challenge as an actor, actually. And I look back on it and think, "Wow, that was an anxious time for me," because I felt like I was walking this tightrope. Like, was I? Wasn't I? And I think it was kept from me by people because they had the best intentions really.
We know she was one of the first people, in the lore, to figure out who Sauron really was. And so it happens in this show that she is one of the first people to figure it out. It's just that Tolkien says that, and this is something that I really narrowed in on, is that Tolkien says the word "eventually." He says eventually Galadriel learned. And that, to me, implies that there was a period where she didn't know.
