- At the invitation of Grace Hill Media, on Monday 30th of September I interviewed Daniel Weyman, one of the stars of Amazon Prime's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, for the Catholic Weekly (CW). This interview was about the revelation of the identity of the character he's been playing since season one -- the Stranger -- as the Wizard Gandalf in the second season finale which aired on October 3rd. Daniel does a deep dive into his motivations for playing the role, his interactions with other characters, and discloses his love for J. R. R. Tolkien's work. We also discussed the series' faithfulness to Tolkien's work, as well as the latter's Catholicism. Here is the link to the CW article:

Sauron: I have (have had) many names.
Gandalf: You’ll know when one name is your name.
Dark Wizard: That is a name they gave me out of fear and misunderstanding.
Adar: Adar is the name that I earned.
Miriel: declared “Queen of The Sea”
Merimac: “I’m Nobody.”
😍😍
How does he feel about the strong possibility of being measured by Ian McKellen's gold standard for the rest of his life?
Probably not well because most people in Hollywood are petty children or extremely insecure.
Love Sabaton and Blind Guardian great stuff.
RoP casting director " we need someone who looks like a young mckellan"
Wonder why no one asked why Gandalf doesn't appear on Middle Earth until the 3rd Age?😂🤦♂️
Haven't seen Rings of Power, but the Critical Drinker has some great commentary on it 😁
The men of Arnor gave Mithrandir, his common name 'Gandalf'. Oh and Gandalf never met Bombadil until after destruction of the One Ring! Hate this series! Anyone that is not familiar with actual Tolkien, will think this bs is cannon, it's not, it's badly made fan fiction.🤬
I mean it wasnt much of a reveal lmao
