The rings of power: “The Hobbit” star in a double role – in episode 6 he’s back as an orc!

Dual role for ‘The Hobbit’ and ‘The Lord of the Rings’ star Jed Brophy! Jed Brophy first appeared in episodes 3 and 4 of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power as Orc Vrath. In the sixth episode he returns again and plays a new orc. You know Brophy as the dwarf Nori from The Hobbit trilogy!

• Amazon brings back an old fan favorite in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
• Jed Brophy has starred in every ‘Lord of the Rings’ and ‘The Hobbit’ film to date.
• After impersonating various orcs and the dwarf Nori, he is now back as various orcs.

In “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” we already saw a number of orcs, including Vrath, who attacks Theo in episode 4 and is eventually killed by Arondir, and the orc in the tavern in episode 6. Which is easy to overlook : In both cases, behind the orc make-up is a popular “The Hobbit” and “The Lord of the Rings” star!

Jed Brophy, as he is known, appeared in the Lord of the Rings movies as a Nazgul in the first part. In The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, he takes on dual roles as Orc Sharku, the leader of the Warg Riders, and Snaga. He is also in the third film as an orc. However, he has his biggest Middle-earth role in “The Hobbit” trilogy.

There he plays the dwarf, Nori, in all three films, who is part of Thorin’s venture. Now he has returned as two orcs in “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” and it’s nice to see that Amazon Prime Video also relies on the actor, who can be traded as a kind of lucky charm in the Middle-earth films.

In which other roles the actor will return in Amazon’s “The Lord of the Rings” series remains open. For Middle-earth fans, the motto is definitely: Keep your eyes open when viewing the new episodes! The fan favorite could be hiding behind every orc.
