Middle-earth News: Tolkien’s work encompasses a huge mythology with a vast cast of characters. If you could play any character in Tolkien’s universe, who would it be and why?
Mark Hadlow: I have been Dori for 3 years and I walk, talk, sleep, and communicate as him when we are working. Tolkien wrote hundreds of characters. To be any other Tolkien creation would be amazing; they are rich, formidable, vibrant, colourful, dark, and foreboding; being any character would be an actor’s gift. Add Peter Jackson to the mix with Weta Digital/Workshops and voila, dream come true. I am not dreaming, I luckily get to see the magic of The Hobbit with two characters, when my other character Bert the troll came to life.
Tomorrow: Mark Hadlow talks about music, singing, and playing the flute on The 12 Days of Dori – Day 4.
