Charlie Vickers plays dark lord Sauron on Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, but didn't even know until he'd filmed several episodes.
Charlie Vickers plays Sauron in The Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power, best known as a red eye towering over Mordor in Peter Jackson's film trilogy.How does an Australian actor with a handful of credits land a gig playing one of the most famous villains of the 20th century on the most expensive TV show of all-time?
While the series is based upon Lord of the Rings creator J.R.R. Tolkien's various writings on Middle-Earth's Second Age , the character was an original creation by showrunners J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay. Audiences learned Halbrand's identity at the end of season one in 2022: Now, the series is back, with a season focused on Sauron's devilish plans for Middle Earth, centred on the titular rings of power. That pushes Vickers centre stage, which was nerve-wracking for the young actor."I've gathered a toolbox of ways to deal with my anxiety," he says.
"You're with him on his journey," he says. "Although he is a villain, I like to think of him as a bit of an anti-hero. You're watching someone manipulate people, but you're almost rooting for him at the same time, in a really sadistic way." But it's his experiences on set in Australia that have shaped the type of actor Vickers wants to be. He was blown away by the generosity of his Palm Beach co-stars, Bryan Brown and Sam Neill, as well as Sigourney Weaver, who he starred alongside in the 2023 Australian miniseries The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart.
