We spoke w/ Robert Aramayo about RingsOfPower, the relationship between Elrond and Galadriel, and finding his own voice as the character.
From showrunners JD Payne & Patrick McKay, the Amazon Studios multi-season drama series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is set in the Second Age of Middle-earth’s history, thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings and at a time when a terrifying villain called Sauron is looking to conquer the kingdoms, defeat the heroes, and gain control over all life.
ROBERT ARAMAYO: Of the many surprises along the way, being a part of it, you experience the epic scale of the show and what the show is capable of, which is sometimes mind-blowing. And then, other times, you’re surprised by how intimate it can be, and it’s just you and another actor working on a scene, like anything else. I think there’s a good balance of a good focus on the work and these amazing set pieces that blow your mind.
It feels like there would be a little extra pressure on you, playing this specific character. What’s it like to find a character that someone else has embodied, but also be confident in your own choices for your performance and find a way to live in it yourself? ARAMAYO: Yeah, lots. There are tons, actually. Everywhere you turn, there are examples of what you’re talking about. When people experience Númenor, it’s really, really mind-blowing. Inside the city, there was graffiti in certain fonts. I got the chance to go in and see the guy who was creating all of the language for Númenor, and I got to see all the stuff that was thrown out, that wasn’t used. That exists across every department of the job.
I love a show that has characters that have such a richness to them that it feels like there are so many aspects that we’re just never going to be able to see or learn about because there just isn’t enough time.
