We’re just a few days away from The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, the highly-anticipated Prime Video series that will present a new take on the mythos of J.R.R. Tolkein. The ambitious and expansive series is set several centuries before the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, stories that were previously brought to life in two trilogies of live-action films. Those films have remained pop culture classics, and it looks like some of the series’ stars look upon them fondly too. In a recent interview with Collider, Galadriel actress Morfydd Clark and Halbrand actor Charlie Vickers shared the Lord of the Rings moments that are near and dear to their hearts.
CLARK: Yes. It’s when Aragorn comes through the doors at Helm’s Deep, and that had a profound effect on me.
VICKERS: Very sexy. I’d say mine is in The Fellowship when the Hobbits have just left the Shire, and they’re being chased by the Ringwraiths, and they’re hiding under the road under where the roots are of the tree.
CLARK: Oh yeah, so scary.
VICKERS: And I was quite young when I first watched that, and I found that bit terrifying, and it’s always lingered with me.
CLARK: Actually though, it’s not necessarily favorite, but probably one that’s had the biggest effect on me is that I can’t eat a cherry tomato without thinking of Denethor.
VICKERS: Denethor eating the tomatoes. The singing.
