Middle-earth News: How do you make your choices of what projects and roles to play? And when you choose, how do you prepare for a role? Where do you start?

Adam Brown: I simply look for great roles and get excited by any opportunity. I never originally thought I would be suitable for a Middle-earth film, but you never know what’s around the corner! I look for exciting characters and try and find the truth when playing them. I work best when I can ‘play’ with actors and the director — feeling comfortable to explore and be in the moment is the best thing for finding the truth of a scene or character.

Tomorrow: Adam shares what made him want to be an actor in The 12 Days of Ori – Day 11.

Author: Lily’s first experience with Tolkien was when the eccentric Mrs. H performed all of the characters from The Hobbit in her seventh grade class. In high school, she felt obliged to decline a second date with a boy who said he had no interest in reading The Lord of the Rings. In college, she unwisely decided to reread her beloved copy of The Hobbit during finals week, with only semi-disastrous results. When not writing for Middle-earth News, Lily tries not to unnerve her coworkers and family with her extreme geekery, but somehow, Star Wars, Star Trek, Sherlock, Merlin, Doctor Who, The Princess Bride, Back to the Future, superheroes, Disney movies, and of course, Tolkien, seem to have relevance in EVERY conversation.
