As seen in both 'Titanic' and 'The Lord of the Rings.'
Bernard Hill may be one of the most underrated and underappreciated actors of our time, but he is the only person to have the privilege of playing two characters in two separate films with 11 Academy Award wins. He has had the honor of playing Captain Edward Smith in James Cameron's Titanic, and the honorable King Theoden in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.
For instance, while he did recognize in the beginning that there were warning signs about Icebergs, he willfully downplays these thoughts. He didn't really buy into the notion that the ship was unsinkable, but he could have done something more to avert the disaster. When the inevitable happened, you can sense a change in Hill's demeanor. The inflections of his face are representative of a plethora of emotions, ranging from terrified to accepting.
Who Did Bernard Hill Play in 'The Lord of the Rings'? Quite similar to the role he filled in the first of two award-winning pictures, Hill was cast as the King of Rohan in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Much like Captain Smith, Theoden son of Thengel represented the quintessential figure for Man, in an age where hope was lost, and the light was slowly but surely fading.
The Witch King of Angmar, orders its fell beast to pounce on the helpless king. Before its mouth reaches the King, we see Theoden's face emanating horror and disappointment and is subsequently tossed to the ground in front of his niece, Eowyn. In what can simply be called a miracle, Eowyn kills The Witch King, but her uncle's fate is already determined. With his last ounce of strength, he sends a farewell message and meets his maker.
