Barahir

[Deleted member 207]

I really like him☺. THOUGH I don’t think of him as a hugely versatile actor. He generally plays people that outwardly present a lot of swagger and are wise-crackers, which I don’t necessarily see Barahir as. Perhaps he can do more but I’m not sure I’ve seen it

 

[Haakon]

Well he certainly has a particular style and the good thing about that is that he’s able to make viewers like his characters instantly. He would make Barahir a memorable character.

 

[Deleted member 207]

He’s certainly charismatic. If I had to define him it’s charismatic. His performances in His Dark Materials and Hamilton both show he can play a person you’d follow to the ends of the earth.

 

[Haakon]

That’s more or less what the role requires. I would also argue that his personality fits perfectly with an Emeldir who Corey wants to be ‘scary’.

Gina Carano? Lol gonna keep pushing for her. The pair of them could play a really fun dynamic

Yeah I have also planned on transferring her from Haleth to Emeldir.

She could still work as Haleth, since she’s tall for a woman. Just so long as whoever we cast for Haldad isn’t any taller.

The actress playing Haleth should have Indian or Pakistani origin

Lin-Manuel Miranda ?

He's a little... little...

 

[Haakon]

...yes?

 

[Haakon]

The one thing I could say against him is that he’s rather modern in his expression, and this could feel out of place in Middle-earth.

 

[MithLuin]

Barahir should have a 'dashing' side to him. He's a warrior from a traditionally non-warrior people, and so he has to have that bold side of him to have embraced their new lifestyle. And he saves Finrod, which is a heroic action that would not happen at all if he weren't a risk-taking leader.

As for Lin-Manuel Miranda, he has done a period piece that was not intended to be modern - Mary Poppins Returns is set in 1930's London.

I am not sure that Barahir is a role that would require any singing, but I don't think we need 'save' him for a singing role, either.
